Editing VPS Management (section)

== Moving a VE on the same virt ==

Easy way:<br>
Scenario 1: ve 123 is to be renamed 1231 and moved from vz1 to vz

 vzmlocal 123:1231:/vz/private/1231:/vz/root/1231

Scenario 2: ve 123 is to be moved vz1 to vz

 vzmlocal 123:123:/vz/private/123:/vz/root/123

vzmlocal will reboot the ve at the end of the move

'''Note:''' don't forget to fix /usr/local/sbin/backup.config for new disk location

Manual/old way:

1) <tt>vzctl stop 123</tt><br>
2) <tt>mv /vz1/private/123 /vz/private/.</tt><br>
(or cp -a if you want to copy)
3) in <tt>/etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/123.conf</tt> change value<br>
of '<tt>VE_PRIVATE</tt>' variable to point to a new private area location
4) <tt>vzctl start 123</tt><br>
5) update backups if needed: <tt>mvbackups 123 virtX virt1 vz</tt><br>
6) update management scerens<br>

Notes: a) absolute path to private area is stored in quota file <tt>/var/vzquota/quota.123</tt> - so during first startup quota will be recalculated.<br>
b) if you're going to write some script to do a job, you MUST be sure that $VEID won't be expanded to '' in ve config file - ie. you need to escape '$'. Otherwise you might have:

 VE_PRIVATE="/vz/private/"

in config, and 'vzctl destroy' for this VE ID '''will remove everything under /vz/private/ directory'''.
