NAME

       vz - global OpenVZ configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/vz/vz.conf

DESCRIPTION

       This  is global configuration file for OpenVZ.  It consists of lines in
       the form

       PARAMETER="value"

       All parameter names and values are case-sensitive.  Quotes  surrounding
       value   are  required  if  value  contains  spaces,  and  are  optional
       otherwise. Extra spaces are not allowed. All unrecognized lines will be
       ignored.

   Global parameters
       VIRTUOZZO=yes|no
              This   parameter   can  be  set  to  yes  or  no,  and  used  by
              /etc/init.d/vz script. In case it is not  set  to  yes,  nothing
              will be done to boot up OpenVZ on this node.

       LOCKDIR=directory
              Set the directory to put lock files to.

       VE0CPUUNITS=number
              Value of this parameter sets cpuunits for CT0 (host system).

       LOGGING=yes|no
              Enables or disables logging. This parameter can be set to yes or
              no, default is yes.

       LOGFILE=file
              Set location of log file, default is /var/log/vzctl.log.

       LOG_LEVEL=number
              Set the logging level. The more number is, the more  information
              will be logged.

       VERBOSE=number
              Set the output verbosity. Default is 0.

       MODULES_DISABLED=yes|no
              If the value of this parameter is set to yes, no attempt to load
              OpenVZ kernel modules is made in vz initscript. This is  helpful
              on  systems  which  have OpenVZ-specific stuff compiled into the
              kernel (i. e. not as modules).

   Disk quota parameters
       DISK_QUOTA=yes|no
              In case the value of this parameter is set to no, all disk quota
              operations are disabled.

       VZFASTBOOT=yes|no
              This  parameter  is used by /etc/init.d/vz start script. In case
              the value of this parameter is set to yes, all  containers  with
              incorrectly  shutdown  quota  state  are  started  without quota
              check, and after all containers will be  started,  those  marked
              containers are restarted (to fix quotas).

   Network interface parameters
       VE_ROUTE_SRC_DEV="device"
              This  parameter  specifies  the  network  device  name  which ip
              address will used for source ip. If on HN configured > 1 network
              interfaces  and  needed  to  specify  the source ip address, set
              corresponding device. By default  takes  the  first  in  network
              device list.

       NEIGHBOUR_DEVS[="detect"]
              Controls  on  which  interfaces  to add/remove ARP records for a
              container IP, also which interfaces  to  use  to  query/announce
              ARP.  If this is set to detect, the right network interface (the
              one which is in the same subnet as  a  CT  IP)  will  be  chosen
              automatically.  Any other value restores old (as of vzctl 3.0.19
              or older) behavior, when all the possible interfaces were  used.

       TEMPLATE=directory
              Value  of  this  parameter is a directory in which all container
              template data are stored.

   Defaults for containers
       Below parameters are defaults for containers, and gets  overwritten  by
       parameters in vps.conf(5) container configuration file.

       VE_ROOT=directory
              Value  of  this  parameter  is  the  directory  which  serves as
              container root mount point. Value must contain string $VEID,  it
              gets substituted with actual numeric CT ID.

       VE_PRIVATE=directory
              Value  of this parameter is the directory in which all the files
              and directories specific to that  container  are  stored.  Value
              must  contain  string  $VEID,  it  gets  substituted with actual
              numeric CT ID.

       CONFIGFILE=name
              Specified  default  configuration   file   on   create   action,
              corresponds to --config option.

       Any   other   parameter  that  appears  in  per-PE  configuration  file
       vps.conf(5) can be also set here. Still,  it  is  recommended  to  keep
       TEMPLATE,  VE_PRIVATE  and VE_ROOT in this configuration files, and all
       the other container related parameters in  per-container  configuration
       files.
