## Operating Container

You can operate any Container directly from the Container listing screen by using controls above the list and at the bottom of the screen. You can select more than one Container environment to operate by checking several boxes next to Container IDs.

- "New VE" button at the top of the screen - Creates a new Container, either based on some hosting plan, or completely custom.
- "Start" - Starts selected Container(s). The Start operation can be performed under Containers in the Stopped or in the Booting status. In the first case the previously stopped Container becomes Running. In the latter case, an Administrator forces Container start to provide hosting services on credit.
- "Stop" - Stops (shuts down) selected Container(s). The Stop operation is used for temporal stopping of Containers that were in the Running state.
- "Create" - Creates selected Container(s) (creates the private file area on disk, prepares the ordered environment for running, often performed automatically). The Create operation is used for Containers in the Ordered state. In this case a Container becomes Stopped after creation.
- "Destroy" - Selected Container(s) will be physically deleted from disk. The logical information about these Containers will still be kept for accounting purposes.
- "Backup" - If backups are allowed, saves a Container private area on one of the Hardware Nodes (server-side backup).
- "Migrate" (above the list)/"Move"( at the bottom of the screen) - Selected Container(s) will be physically moved to the Hardware node selected.

  Note: In Reseller Control Center the Move option is not available if Containers selected for migration are hosted on servers that do not belong to a Reseller.

- The Repair operation - Restarts selected Container(s) in Repair Mode, allowing you to fix any problems. The Repair mode allows getting the file access to a Container data if a Container is out of order.

To configure a virtual environment, just click on its name, and a screen with configuration settings will open.

To operate Containers:

1. Select Service Director - Virtuozzo Manager - Container.
2. Select the Container to operate: check the box at the Container you want to operate (to select all Containers check the checkbox at the column heading).

Click the relevant button at the Action bar located above the list and at the bottom of the screen. The operation starts.Note: If you have more than one Hardware Node, then you can migrate a Container from one Hardware Node to another. To migrate a Container from one Hardware Node to another, select a Container as described above, then select the Rack and the target Hardware Node from the relevant menus at the Action bar and click the Move button.
