vzmlocal

Moving/copying a Container within one and the same server consists in changing/adding the Container ID, private area, and root paths. Thus, you may use the vzmlocal utility either to change the ID and/or the private area path and/or the root path of any existing Container or to clone a Container, i.e. to create a complete copy of an existing Container with different ID and paths. It has the following syntax:

vzmlocal < source_CT_ID >[:< dest_CT_ID > \

[:< dest_private >[:dest_root]] [...]

vzmlocal -C < source_CT_ID >:< dest_CT_ID > \

[:< dest_private >[:dest_root]] [...]

vzmlocal -h

The options are the following:

You should specify the source Container ID ( < source_CT_ID > ) and the destination Container ID ( < dest_CT_ID > ). Specifying the destination Container private area path ( < dest_private > ) and root path ( < dest_root > ) is optional; it allows you to override the default paths - /vz/private/< dest_CT_ID > and /vz/root/< dest_CT_ID > , correspondingly.

Notes:

1. You may perform a number of copying/moving operations by a single invocation of the vzmlocal utility.

2. You may run the vzmlocal utility on both running and stopped Containers.
