Script to double/halve OpenVZ resources

The following script allows you to easily double or halve resources in an OpenVZ container.

You would install this script as "/usr/local/bin/vz-double-resources" and also create a symlink named "vz-half-resources" to it (probably also in /u/l/b).

This then allows you to just call "vz-double-resources 123 shmpages" in case you've been notified that there have been shmpages beancounter failures (resource limit has been hit).
This outputs the command to double the bean counter limit, and allows for easy execution by just forwarding the output to "sh", as in "vz-double-resources 123 shmpages | sh -".

Here's the script (available and maintained as/at Gist):

Code:

# cat =vz-double-resources
#!/bin/bash
 
VZ="$1"
RESOURCE="$2"
 
if [ -z $VZ ] || [ -z $RESOURCE ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 VZ RESOURCE"
    exit 1
fi
 
case $0 in
  *-double-*) OPERATION="*2" ;;
  *-half-*)   OPERATION="/2" ;;
  *) echo "Invalid: $0" ; exit 1;;
esac
 
echo "# Operation: $OPERATION"
 
# get failures:
# awk '$NF ~ /[0-9]*[1-9]$/' /proc/bc/*/resources
 
if [ -f /proc/bc/$VZ/resources ] ; then
# uid  resource                     held              maxheld              barrier                limit              failcnt
 
  resource=$(echo $RESOURCE | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
  awk /$resource/ /proc/bc/$VZ/resources | {
    read resource held maxheld barrier limit failcnt
    if [ -n "$resource" ]; then
      cmd="vzctl set $VZ --$resource $(($barrier $OPERATION)):$(($limit $OPERATION)) --save"
      echo $cmd
      exit
    fi
  }
fi
[[ -n "$cmd" ]] && exit
if [ -f /etc/vz/conf/$VZ.conf ] ; then
  value=$(grep -i "^$RESOURCE=" /etc/vz/conf/$VZ.conf)
  eval $value
  RESOURCE=$(echo $RESOURCE | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')
  resource=$(echo $RESOURCE | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
  value=$(eval echo \$${RESOURCE})
  echo $value | {
    IFS=: read barrier limit
    cmd="vzctl set $VZ --$resource $(($barrier $OPERATION)):$(($limit $OPERATION)) --save"
    echo $cmd
  }
else
  echo "ERROR: container $VZ not found."
  exit 1
fi

This is a script I've been using since quite a while (otherwise it would use zsh instead of bash), and have not looked into after creating it.
I just noticed that it is quite useful in general and therefore wanted to make it public.

Get container ID from inside an OpenVZ container

The following snippet will get you the OpenVZ container, when you're in a container. I have added this to my zsh prompt, but this might be useful in other places, too.

Code:

# Get OpenVZ container ID (/proc/bc is only on the host):
if [[ -f /proc/user_beancounters && ! -d /proc/bc ]]; then
  CTID=$(sed -n 3p /proc/user_beancounters | cut -f1 -d: | tr -d '[:space:]')
fi
