Requirements for Migrating to Virtual Machines

Any physical computer to be migrated to a virtual machine must have the Virtuozzo agent installed, for which the following requirements must be met.

Hardware Requirements

  • 700 MHz or faster x86 or x64 processor (Intel or AMD).
  • 256 MB or more RAM.
  • 50 MB of free hard disk space for the Virtuozzo agent.
  • Ethernet or Wi-Fi network adapter.

Software Requirements

See General Migration Requirements.

Additional Requirements for Migrating Servers with Virtuozzo

To migrate a server running the Virtuozzo software, you should first make sure that the snapapi26 and snumbd26 modules are not loaded on that server. To check this, you can use the following commands:

# lsmod | grep snapapi26

# lsmod | grep snumbd26

If necessary, unload the modules by running the rmmod command. You may need to stop the Virtuozzo service first, as explained below:

  1. Stop the service:

    # /etc/init.d/vz stop

  2. Unload the modules:

    # rmmod snapapi26

    # rmmod snumbd26

  3. Start the service again:

    # /etc/init.d/vz start

Once the modules are unloaded, proceed with migration.
