[Users] virtuozzo base OS and new centos 8 orientations

Hi,

thanks a lot for detailed report.

Issue with kernel-headers not installed during the script is definitely caused by tricks with skipping kernel during CT upgrade. Obviously we forced the script to skip kernel-headers, as well. kernel-headers are required by glibc-headers, glibc-headers - by glibc-devel, etc., so we have a chain of packages skipped due to kernel-headers. Should tweak a script a bit more for this.

As for straightforward approach with distro-sync - actually nothing is wrong with it if it works:) There can be problems though if you use streams from CentOS 8 which are missing in VzLinux8. But probably it's worth to try distro-sync first - if it works then it's fine to proceed.

OK,  I gave it a try to vzdeploy8 script on a centos 8 CT
here are the details to let you know some warning/error (?) I received :

1) get the script
[root at c8ct~]# wget http://repo-backend.virtuozzo.com/vzlinux/vzdeploy/vzdeploy8

2) export SKIP_KERNEL=1 to prevent messing around with kernel in a CT !

3) Launch the script
[root at c8ct ~]# sh vzdeploy8
vzdeploy8 is already the latest version (2.0.1) - continuing
Do you want to continue with deploy (y/n) ?y

1st serie of messages maybe unrelated on a CT , better destine for a hardware Node ? :

=> did it had to upgrade each and every packages (982 !) ? (I did a fresh yum update when it was still centos 8)

4) done/completed, then check version and reboot
[root at wad ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Virtuozzo Linux release 8
[root at c8ct ~]# reboot


5) after reboot I issue a yum update , and glibc and kernel headers package are installed ... normal !?

So it seems to work fine, I'll check for next update and add/remove  of other packages to see if it keeps running fine .

I gave a look at the vzdeploy8 script, it is quite long and thorough for a CT , what would be  wrong with our initial very simple procedure :
1) replace C8 repos with VzLinux
2) install vzlinux-release package
3) distro-sync

which method do you recommend for my next migrations of  Centos8 CTs and VMs ?

Thanks .

Hi,

I've pushed updated version of the script to the repo - now it honors SKIP_KERNEL environment variable and skips kernel-related actions if it is set.

Yeah, indeed it is initially targeted for hardware nodes, but should not
be hard to adopt for CT. At the first glance it is enough to just skip
the kernel part.
