Hi All,
I need to migrate an OpenVZ container from one Host to another. The kernel on the source is 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5.028stab094.3, on the destination it is 2.6.18-274.el5.028stab093.2. I'm pretty sure they are both CentOS 5.7, but I'm really not sure how to confirm this.
According to what I have read, the kernels need to be identical to perform the migration. Based on the aforementioned kernels, I believe the source machine is newer than the destination.
How do I update the destination kernel to be the same as the source?
Many thanks, in advance....

Kernel exact match is required ONLY if you intend to do live migration
(no down time for VPS), if a short down time (like an apparent reboot)
is acceptable, then you can use vzmigrate without the --online option
and migration should be working no trouble.
