4.2. Upgrading from VzLinux 8¶

To upgrade in-place from VzLinux 8 to an alpha build of Virtuozzo Hybrid Server 8, run the upgrade script provided in the vzlinux-release package:

# do-upgrade-vzlin-vz8 --skip-license --accept-eula

The script will install the virtuozzo-release, ask you to accept the EULA (unless you specify --accept-eula as above), install the required package groups, create a network bridge for virtual environments, and enable the vz target and libvirtd services.

Reboot to the Virtuozzo Hybrid Server 8 kernel to complete the upgrade.

The upgrade does not affect the storage layout. You may need to adjust it to provide more space for /vz if you plan to store virtual environments there or use the legacy prl* tools.
