Hi,
I was now able to reproduce and document the steps needed to go from CentOS 7 -> Virtuozzo Linux 7 -> Virtuozzo 7.
You need to install CentOS 7 your prefered way with /vz ext4 partition (I made all partions ext4, as the Virtuozzo 7 Bare Metal installer does).
First the steps to convert CentOS 7 (minimal) to Virtuozzo Linux 7 with vzdeploy:
cd /root
yum install wget
wget http://repo.virtuozzo.com/vzlinux/vzdeploy/vzdeploy
chmod 700 vzdeploy
./vzdeploy
This takes some time and finishes without interaction needed. At the end you'll see:
-----
Complete!
Installing a trial license...
Start activation for code trial...
License VZLINUX [*****] was loaded successfully.
Calling 0
sh: 0: command not found
Subscription completed unsuccessfully
Activation completed successfully with product key *****
You can find complete log in /var/log/vzdeploy.log
-----
Pavel told me that this licence is only needed for some features, that are only available in the commercial version. As far as I can see, the licence is no longer installed after conversion to Virtuozzo 7 is done.
The next step is adding the Virtuozzo 7 repositories to yum. Note that the factory repository is enabled for my test, but with lower priority than the release repository. I need to check what have been the original settings of the bare metal installer before setting up a production system.
echo "# These repositories are for internal use by developers only
# Enable them on your own risk!!!

We now fetch the lists of the available packages:
yum update
That will import the required GPG key, you have to allow it, when seeing this message:
------

------
As Pavel said (thank you very much for the hint) we can use yum groups to install all required packages:
yum grouplist | grep -i virtuozzo
returns in my case:
Virtuozzo
Virtuozzo Containers
Virtuozzo Hypervisor
Then install the groups
yum groupinstall 'Virtuozzo' 'Virtuozzo Containers' 'Virtuozzo Hypervisor'
Finally reboot to run Virtuozzo 7.

Volker
