Installation and Preliminary Operations

# On Hardware Node we generally need
# packet forwarding enabled and proxy arp disabled
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv4.conf.default.proxy_arp = 0
# Enables source route verification
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
# Enables the magic-sysrq key
kernel.sysrq = 1
# TCP Explict Congestion Notification
#net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0
# we do not want all our interfaces to send redirects
net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0
Please edit the file as described. To apply the changes issue the following command:
# sysctl -p
Alternatively, the changes will be applied upon the following reboot.
It is also worth mentioning that normally you should have forwarding
(
net.ipv4.ip_forward
) turned on since the Hardware Node forwards the packets destined
to or originating from the Virtual Private Servers.
After that, you should reboot your computer and choose "OpenVZ" on the boot loader menu.
