Hello, I think I'm not entirely understanding how vzsplit works.

I want to split my server up into 20 ve's. So I ran this:

vzsplit -n 20 -f vps.mytest

Which creates the appropriate file. Which I use as my template when creating
new VE's. Great.

But when I run vzcalc on one of the ve's that I've created with the template
made with vzsplit, this is what it shows:

[root@vz ~]# vzcalc 101
Resource Current(%) Promised(%) Max(%)
Memory 0.28 20.45 22.46


I'm confused because I thought splitting it up for 20 ve's would give a
promised of around 5%, not 20%. How can 20 ve's each be promised 20%?


Here is the output of vzcpucheck with two ve's running with the
aforementioned template from above.

[root@vz ~]# vzcpucheck
Current CPU utilization: 35758
Power of the node: 183537

Here is the vz script called 101.conf that the above vzsplit created. I
modified only the Disk quota's and the hostname, ip_address, nameservers
paramters:

NUMPROC="400:400"
AVNUMPROC="111:111"

ONBOOT="yes"
HOSTNAME="not.a.real.hostname.com"
IP_ADDRESS="555.555.555.555"
NAMESERVER="555.555.555.555"


The script also validates with vzcfgvalidate, so I'm assuming this is an
error of my understanding. Would someone be kind enough to explain to me how
this works.

Thanks,

Romeo

Try vzsplit with "-s 0", the regular way it takes swap into account
which is generally a bad idea.

Thank you! Using the -s 0 gives results much more like I was expecting.
