HyperVM installation with OpenVZ kernel

July 7, 2010 • By admin • HyperVM

HyperVM is a flexible Virtualization Management System. Using HyperVM you can control your server farm from a single Console. HyperVM supports both OS level (OpenVZ) and Hardware level (Xen) virtualization.

Installation

Installing HyperVM is quite easy! You need only a few commands to install it from your linux shell as root user. HyperVM installation consists of downloading either the hypervm-install-master.sh or hypervm-install-slave.sh from the download page and executing it.

How to Install

SSH to your server as root. First disable selinux by editing /etc/sysconfig/selinux and changing the line to:

selinux=disabled

Save the file and run:

setenforce 0

Now download the master installation file:

wget http://download.lxcenter.org/download/hypervm/production/hypervm-install-master.sh

Execute the file:

sh ./hypervm-install-master.sh --virtualization-type=openvz

If you want to install hypervm on an existing system without virtualization components:

sh ./hypervm-install-master.sh --virtualization-type=NONE
