Reinstalling Containers
Reinstalling a Container may help if any required Container files have been inadvertently modified, replaced, or deleted, resulting in Container malfunction. You can reinstall a Container by using the
prlctl reinstall
command that creates a new Container private area from scratch according to its configuration file and relevant OS and application templates. For example:
# prlctl reinstall 101
Notes:
1. If any of the Container application templates cannot be added to the Container in a normal way, reinstallation will fail. This may happen, for example, if an application template was added to the Container using the
--force
option of the
vzpkgadd
or
vzpkg install
command (for more information on these commands, see the
Parallels Cloud Server 6.0 Command Line Reference Guide
).
2. Currently, the
reinstall
command may not be supported by the
prlctl
utility. Use
vzctl
instead.
To keep the personal data from the old Container, the utility also copies the old private area contents to the
/vz/root/<
CT_ID
>/old
directory of the new private area (unless the
--skipbackup
option is given). This directory may be deleted after you copy the personal data where you need.
The
prlctl reinstall
command retains user credentials base, unless the
--resetpwdb
option is specified.
