Hello out their.
Im going to update af number of openvz servers, and wanted to update the different tools as well.
But it seems that nearly nothing has happend with openvz tools for
the last two years.
Old errors with wrong dependcies in vzyum on x86_64 described back in 2006 still exists, and the newest centos metedata package is centos 4.
Is it time to shift to a different vitualization platform, or am I just looking the wrong places.
I really like openvz, so I hope I just have to look elsewhere.
regards Thomas

Hi Kir,
Do you know how the kernels will continue to be maintained?
|
Yes. Basically, we will keep supporting our stable branches (RHEL4- and RHEL5-based) for a while (i.e. a few years).
As for the development stuff, the plan is to eventually drop 2.6.24 and 2.6.26 and only maintain 2.6.27.
As for the future kernels (i.e. >2.6.27), nothing is set in stone yet.

For example the latest RHEL5 based kernel is not up to date 
|
If you know some security issue which is not covered in the latest RHEL4- or RHEL5-based kernel, please file a bug.
If you just mean that OpenVZ kernels still haven't rebased to RHEL5.3, that is correct. We are working on that. That doesn't mean though our current kernels are vulnerable or smth -- it's a different issue.

Which kernel is actively being updated with the latest security fixes?
|
All the kernels that are marked as "maintained" in wiki. For the moment those are RHEL4-based, RHEL5-based, 2.6.24, 2.6.26, 2.6.27.

Of all the threads I have read,this one should have many comments.
I as a network admin,we use Solaris 10 servers with container virtualization.
Since we wanted to add LINUX to the mix,I felt adding a LINUX OSPF spur would be the hot ticket,with OpenVZ.
Although I knew first hand,OpenVZ lacked "tools",this should never be a yardstick in not choosing this software.
As an Admin,creating tools is a "no=brainer" in this capacity.
Do not complain in areas that you have no control over,but give
experience to those areas you do have control over.
As I have stated many times,documentation is the "lifeblood" of any software application.
Give your experience to others,and you will see how far OpenVZ can go.
