Hi,

I met a problem when I migrated a VE client from one host to another.
The two hosts are installed Debian 4 and OpenVZ. In one of the host, I
have installed successfully the VE client.
Then, I copied the directories and files in /vz/private/ to another
host. For example, I tared all
the file in /vz/private/101/ of host 1.

# tar cf 101.tgz  101
# ls 101.tgz
101.tgz

Copy the tgz file to another host,

# cd /vz/private/
# tar xzvf 101.tgz

Then I created a directory with the same name in /vz/root/

# cd /vz/root/
# mkdir 101

Ok, all are ready and I started the VE with the id, 101:

# vzctl start 101
VPS config file does not exist

I don't what is wrong with it. Maybe some configuration files are not
ready for this migration.
Could anybody give me some advices?

Thanks in advance.

Ian

You also need to copy the config file: /etc/vz/conf/110.conf

(You can also use vzmigrate script to copy a vps)

I have to use vzmigrate utility.

If you implement migration by hands you must also copy VE conf file 
(/etc/vz/conf/veid.conf, where veid is ID of VE).
