Hello!

is the option "bootorder" still in use with OVZ7?

=> vzctl set 101 --bootorder 99 --save

I need some CT to start (and stop) in a specific order but, at the moment, OpenVZ 7 seems to not respect it.

prlctl has no option to set order priority to CT when hardware node starts or is shut down.

Any hint appreciated! Smile

I dont know if this option is supported in VZ7, maybe one of the official members can reply, in the meantime i can offer you a workaround, that is to first create rc.local for your system, set ONBOOT="no" for every guest in vz.conf of every guest and then perhaps just make them start one by one in etc/rc.d/rc.local by putting


/usr/sbin/vzctl start 100
/usr/sbin/vzctl start 101
/usr/sbin/vzctl start 98


or something

Of course maybe there is official way to honour priority so perhaps anyone else can reply..

Hello!

Many thanks for your answer and sorry for the delay.

I have created a custom Bash script to start containers in the correct order.

But, because I cannot reboot the host just to test it, I will wait until it is really needed.

There are two steps to check:

1) iptables is locked while service firewalld (and/or iptables) are starting

=> I have disabled firewalled and removed saved rules for iptables service

2) vzlist -a and/or prlctl list -a can be "unstable" for a while (while booting)

=> it seems that IP adresses of containers are not available immediately (not atomic)

So, the "home-made" firewall script waits until all IP addresses (venet) are available and it launchs the custom script that starts containers.

If everything goes fine, I will post the code.

Have a great day!
