Hello everybpdy,
I'm currently trying to migrate a physical server into a VE. I've read http://wiki.openvz.org/Physical_to_VE, and everything is almost working.
The physical server runs redhat 8.0.
The only remaining problem is the network. I've set the ONBOOT option to no for each physical network interface.
I've then run the vzctl commands to add an ip to VE, as well as a nameserver.
Then, i start the VE and have an error message :

I enter the VE and am not able to ping any network.
To be able to ping, i have to manually add needed routes, and obviously, it does not remain once the VE is restarted.
I've checked /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/{ifcfg-venet0,ifcfg-venet0:0, route-venet0}
and everything seems to be fine.
Any idea about this?
thanks

ok, now i've found a solution.
the conf file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-venet0 is not taken into account.
Googling around some says that you have to add your routes into /etc/sysconfig/static-route (doesn't work), or in rc.local (doesn't work, and btw, an ugly way).
The last clue i found is to add routes in /etc/sysconfig/networking/${interface}.route, and it works.
now, i have /etc/sysconfig/networking/venet0.route, that contains :
NETMASK1=255.255.255.255
ADRESS1=191.255.255.1
hope this would help!
