[Users] Status of OVZ 8 & 9

[mailinglist at tikklik.nl]

I think i have to agree with you…

Looks like openvz is drained out…

 

Im also looking for a alternative before it is to late.

In the past I had one machine with proxmox… 
I had some problems with it, what are your experience today?

I've been asking the same question.

As much as I like openvz (using it since 2010) my last openvz server is now running in a VM under proxmox. 

In my experience openvz containers are more reliable than proxmox, but proxmox does have a very nice web interface.

I hope the openvz project is revived before it's too late.

Hi 

a year later ... I give a try to OVZ 9 from the latest ISO I could find in  repo factory9 (right place ?) : 

 https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/factory9/x86_64/iso/openvz-iso-9.0.1-667.iso  

but, still in dates from september 2023 ...

hopefully we'll get at least a Beta available before RHEL7 gets EOL, June 2024 .

the ISO install well, prlctl package is still not there by default, I had to install it manually (!?) 

is it still unclear why we get a deprecated message when using prlctl (vz7) command 

WARNING: You are using a deprecated CLI component that won't be installed by default in the next major release. Please use virsh instead

does virsh will replace prlctl in VZ9 ? I understand it for VMs, but for CTs !? 

but, still prlctl package (prlctl-9.0.2-1.vz9.x86_64) now installs correctly (no more rpm pgp signature failure), but fails to run :

# prlctl list 

prlctl: symbol lookup error: prlctl: undefined symbol: PrlVmCfg_SetNetfilterMode

 

It would be very helpfull for acadmic as us to get a up2date , even Alpha release of OpenVZ9 , if you want the community to stay with OpenVZ/Virtuozzo.

I know dozen of sysadmins around me that quit VMware to Proxmox ... We have a short opportunity to let them give it a try to OpenVZ, but as 7 will EOM very soon and VZ9 is not testable, that's not very handy .  

Lets us know what is the roadmap regarding OVZ9 . 

Thanks .

good, let us know . 

I did opened a bug report regarding this issue

https://bugs.openvz.org/browse/OVZ-7419

it was marked as resolved last week, but I still fail to install prlctl (just did dnf clean all) , so I reoponed the issue.

maybe the fix is in that new iso ? or I should uninstall / reinstall openvz-release-9.0.1-383.vz9.x86_64 package ? didn't tried that because it also needs to remove 75 packages (qemu* ...) as dependances .

Jehan 

PS: anyway, if prlctl finally get installed, is this the way to go , the "deprecated" message is not reassuring .

I've been running openvz 7 for some years, and I periodically check on the status of openvz 8 and 9.

While openvz 7 has been getting updates, it seems openvz 8 is fairly static, and openvz 9 seems not ready for use.

Is there an intent to continue support of openvz beyond version 7?

Since openvz is a great advertisement for virtuozzo, it would be a shame if it faded away.
