Failed to enter Container

Failed to enter Container

ISSUE: I am unable to enter into one of the vps inside virtuozzo node using “vzctl enter CTID” command. Getting the error “enter failed. Failed to enter container”.

root@virtuozzo# vzctl enter 1330

enter failed

Failed to enter Container 1330

root@virtuozzo#

REASON : VZFS symlinks of the Container private area to system and application templates are somehow corrupted.

FIX: Use the vzctl recover CTID option to re-write the original symlinks to the Container private area.

The vzctl recover command restores the original VZFS symlinks of the Container private area to the OS and/or application template(s) as they were at the time when the Container was created and/or when the application template(s) were added to the Container. This command does not deal with any user files on the Container:

root@virtuozzo# vzctl recover 1330

Recovering Container completed successfully

root@virtuozzo#

As per the parallels documentation the recover option doesn’t touch the user data files, so there is no problem of data missing.
