  • UPD this also may be applied to openvz7 / virtuozzo7
  • ADD consider to complete yum update {yeahh the full update}

Update only vzkernel on Centos. Read till the end before proceed.

Check the bootlist:

cat  /boot/grub/grub.conf

if you using newer grub:

cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 

Proceed with update:

yum update vzkernel

Check the bootlis again and note that new kernel appeare to load at the next boot:

cat  /boot/grub/grub.conf

For any case count how much active vps now:

vzlist | wc -l

You may save the output in order to be able to compare it with the same command output after reboot/all vm start

vzlist | wc -l >/home/vzlist.txt
vzlist >>/home/vzlist.txt 

for virtuozzo use:

prlctl list >/home/prlctl.txt

to check/save only openvz7/virtuozzo7 VMs

prlctl list --vmtype vm | wc -l >/home/prlctl_listVMS_wc-l.txt

Reboot:

reboot

Once reboot finished take a look into /var/log/vzctl.log and /var/log/messages you may do it in two separte ssh sessions with tail -f command.

update vzctl vzquota ploop prlctl for better workaround.

    • NOTE** If you see messaged like this during module update:

Depending on your system config most likely you need to follow the instructions in the output message and try to install deprecated module manually after reboot. In general it should not be critical , however it depends on exact module. In the example we provided you may simply install sysdig in easy way: 1.Install kernel dev with the same version as your vzkernel. 2.Try to install sysdig package that will try to install sysdig-node kernel module. Otherwise you may find another solutions of module installiation.
