You may create Service VE on a Virtuozzo hardware node using 'vzsveinstall' utility:

where
- DISTRIB_DIR - path to Virtuozzo distribution directory hierarchy on a server. F.e. if you have the Virtuozzo distrib on your server in /root/Rel300 dir then DISTRIB_DIR should be /root/Rel300/;
- SERVICE_VE_IP - IP address to be assigned to Service VE;

Please refer to man page on 'vzsveinstall' utility for additional information.

Please note - OS template 'redhat-as3-minimal' must be installed on a hardware node and cached before Service VE may be created. If you have no that template on a node please do the following:
- install OS template 'redhat-as3-minimal', corresponding RPM package is located in 'HW/SVE' dir inside Virtuozzo distrib;
- create OS template cache using 'vzpkgcache' command on a node.

If Virtuozzo server has been updated since the very first release (using 'vzup2date' utility or manually) then you need to apply all needed updates to the Service VE as well. Updates downloaded by 'vzup2date' utility are usually located under /vz/vzup2date/3.0.0/TU-3.0.0-* dirs. You may apply them to the Service VE using 'vzsveupgrade' utility using this simple script:


If you need to re-create Service VE then you may destroy the existing one using 'vzctl destroy 1' utility (VE must be stopped first), then create it from the scratches and apply available updates as it is described above.
