Question

How to change the directory of existing OpenVZ containers in SolusVM?

Answer

Not possible in SolusVM, however can be done manually on the OpenVZ node:

1. Create a backup of a container:

   # yum install vzdump -y && vzdump --stop --compress --dumpdir /yourbackupdir/ VMID

2. Recreate container:

   # vzctl destroy VMID && vzdump --restore /yourbackupdir/vzdump-VMID.tgz VMID

   VMID of a container can be found in SolusVM > Virtual Servers > VMID column.
