Hello,

You can checkpoint your container and after that restore it on the same node with another ID.

Here is an example how to change CTID from 101 to 102:

    host# vzctl chkpnt 101 --dumpfile /tmp/Dump.101
    host# mv /etc/vz/conf/101.conf /etc/vz/conf/102.conf
    host# mv /vz/private/101 /vz/private/102
    host# mv /vz/root/101 /vz/root/102
    host# vzctl restore 102 --dumpfile /tmp/Dump.101

If you have some action scripts for this container, then you will need to rename them too.
