set memory for a openvz container from command line

Hi friends,

I dont use a vps control panel and dont want to use one(not even free one) as I need to manage only 3 vps on my dedi.

the issue is..

I have created a vps with 1gb ram/512mb vswap/10gb space and it works fine..

But, it hits memory limit even when I use yum install command..

cat /proc/user_beancounters shows that the privvmpages is hitting limits.

How can I set/increase this limit from command line?

thanks for your time..

nb

    vzctl set {ctid} --ram {ram} --swap {swap} --save

    I have already did this and the vps shows the memory correctly..

    # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1024 232 791 0 0 200 -/+ buffers/cache: 31 992 Swap: 512 0 512

    Problem is, even though it shows free ram/vswap, It hits privvmpages limit and yum install fails.

    Why are you running CentOS 5 in 2018? This is why bumping 4 year old threads is bad.

    Try without "{}"
    And CTID always is numeric ID of node, like vzctl set 101 ...

    All the suggested commands are correct you should use latest OS.
