NAME

       vzsplit - generate a sample container configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       vzsplit [-n numve] [-f conf_name] [-s swapsize] [-v yes|no]

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

       -n numve
              Specify the number of containers.

       -f conf_name
              Specify the configuration sample name to write configuration to, instead of standard  output.  The
              file created will be named /etc/vz/conf/ve-conf_name.conf-sample.

       -s swapsize
              Specify  the  swap  size  in  Kbytes.  If  this  option  is  not given, the swap size is read from
              /proc/meminfo.

       -v yes|no
              Whether to generate VSwap enabled configuration. Default is auto-detect  by  checking  if  running
              kernel is VSwap capable; this option overrides auto-detection.

EXIT STATUS

       vzsplit returns 0 upon a successful execution. If anything goes wrong, it returns 1.
