I have a server that I have inherited from someone who left our company
and he built it with Debian 3.1 on the root server and all guest vservers.
The kernel used was 2.6.8-vserver. I'm going to ask some dumb questions
here because I'm mostly familiar with RedHat and Solaris, more than
Debian. I have never personally installed a Debian vserver system from
scratch. I want to build a duplicate of this system because the original
system is having hardware problems and I need to recreate the system if it
dies.
My question is this: If I install the latest release of Debian -- looks
like 3.1r5 and use the latest vserver kernel (can't remember what I saw it
at last), will the guests that were built on Deb 3.1 and 2.6.8-vserver
kernel work okay? How I was hoping it would go is like this: I install
the new base server with 3.1r5/newer vserver kernel based on vserver
install documentation, and then restore /etc/vserver.conf, /etc/vservers
and /home/vservers (where the guests reside). I'm worried that the guests
were built on an older based kernel and it might cause problems? And also
that my assumptions for restoring such a system are too simplistic.
Thanks for any pointers.
Kathy
