NAME
vzsplit - generate a sample container configuration file with a certain set of system resource control parameters.
SYNOPSIS
vzsplit [-nnumve] [-fconf_name] [-sswapsize]
DESCRIPTION
The vzsplit utility is used to split the Hardware Node into equal parts.
It generates a full set of system resource control parameters for the
given number of containers. The values are calculated from
the total physical memory of the Hardware Node the utility runs on, and
the number of containers the Hardware Node shall be able
to run even if the given number of containers consume all
the resources available.
Without any option given, vzsplit prompts for the desired number
of containers and outputs the resulting resource control
parameters to stdout.
If there are not enough system resources to run the specified number of
containers, an appropriate message is shown and the sample configuration file
is not generated.
OPTIONS
-nnumve
Specify the number of containers.
-fconf_name
Specify the configuration file name. The program output is placed to
/etc/vz/conf/ve-conf_name.conf-sample.
-sswapsize
Specify the swap size in Kbytes. If not provided in the option, the swap size will be read from /proc/meminfo.
DIAGNOSTICS
vzsplit returns 0 upon a successful execution. If anything goes wrong, it
returns 1.
