Upgrading from Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.0 15
Upgrading to Parallels Virtuozzo
Containers 4.6
To upgrade your system to Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.6, do the following:
1 Download the vzinstall-linux-i386.bin or vzinstall-linux-
x86_64.bin utility (for the x86 or x86-64 version of Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.6,
respectively) from the Parallels web site.
The process of downloading and installing Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.6 with the
vzinstall-linux-i386.bin and vzinstall-linux-x86_64.bin utilities is
the same. Therefore, we use a generic term vzinstall-linux.bin to indicate both
utilities throughout this document.
2 Run the chmod a+x vzinstall-linux.bin command to make the vzinstall-
linux.bin utility executable.
3 Execute the vzinstall-linux.bin utility. You can run vzinstall-linux.bin in
one of the following modes:
 In the 'Download and install' mode, the utility automatically starts the upgrade after it
has downloaded the Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.6 installation files to the server.
 In the 'Download only' mode, the utility only downloads theParallels Virtuozzo
Containers 4.6 installation files but does not install them on the server. You can copy the
downloaded files to the server you plan to upgrade to Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.6
and execute the following command:
# ./virtuozzo-4.6.0-<build_version>-<arch>.sfx
Detailed information on the vzinstall-linux.bin utility is provided in the Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers 4.6 Installation Guide.
During the upgrade, you will have to complete the same steps as those described in the Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers 4.6 Installation Guide for installing Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.6 on
a fresh Linux distribution. Consult this guide if you need more information about specific steps.
