Hello,

As you know, different distributions use different methods to set and store the node hostname. Consequently, when vzctl sets hostname to VE it uses information about distribution on which the VE in question is based.

There is a parameter OSTEMPLATE in the VE config file. For example for debian-3.1 VEs:
$ cat /etc/vz/conf/101.conf | grep OSTEMPLATE
OSTEMPLATE="debian-3.1-i386-minimal"

Having information about distribution, vzctl searches in /etc/vz/dists/ for appropiate file for this ostemplate. In case of debian-3.1 distribution it is /etc/vz/dists/debian-3.1.conf file:
[vass@white ~]$ cat /etc/vz/dists/debian-3.1.conf
ADD_IP=debian-add_ip.sh
DEL_IP=debian-del_ip.sh
SET_HOSTNAME=debian-set_hostname.sh
SET_DNS=set_dns.sh
SET_USERPASS=set_userpass.sh
SET_UGID_QUOTA=set_ugid_quota.sh
POST_CREATE=postcreate.sh
As you can see SET_HOSTNAME variable determines which script vzctl should use to set hostname for VE in question.

In your case "distribution not specified". So, try to specify it in VE's config. Actually it is strange, that this parameter haven't appeared automatically after vzctl create... BTW, what vzctl version do you use?

Vasily
