Hi,

I think OpenVZ 7 (the latest release) does support Windows, though only running in a KVM VM and not in a container. OpenVZ 7 added the option to create VMs that was previously only available in Virtuozzo, and so you can create containers for Linux guests and VMs for all non-Linux guests on OpenVZ 7 (or you should be able to at least, according to the documentation I can see). So if you're familiar with OpenVZ, then OpenVZ 7 is probably the best way to go, since you can use both containers and full-blown real VMs on the same host.

However, if the issue here is that you are actually wanting to make day-to-day use of your own PC whilst being able to run containers and VMs on it (which I think might be what your comments about SmartOS imply), then your options are a bit more limited. Things like OpenVZ/SmartOS/ESX are meant to run on a dedicated server that does nothing but host containers and VMs. You then connect remotely to those containers and VMs to use them in whatever way you see fit (SSH, rdesktop, etc), and can also connect remotely to the hardware node to manage it.

If you're looking to be setting up VMs or containers on your own PC, then running a normal desktop-oriented Linux distro locally and using KVM/QEMU to run VMs on it might be a good way forward. Similarly you could run Windows 10 or Windows Server locally and add the Hyper-V role, and create VMs that way whilst still having a usable "real" desktop OS too. Or just use VirtualBox or something like that if your needs are simpler.

NAME
vzlist - show various information about containers SYNOPSIS
vzlist [-a | -S] [-n] [-H] [-o name[,name...] | -1] [-s [-]name] [-h pattern] [-N pattern] [-d pattern] [CTID [CTID ...]] vzlist -L | --list vzlist --help DESCRIPTION
This utility is used for listing containers and their parameters. By default only running containers are listed. If one or more CTIDs are specified, only specified containers are displayed. For the fields that can have many values (e.g. ip), all the values are displayed only for the last (i.e. leftmost) column; otherwise, only the first value is shown. OPTIONS
-a, --all List all containers. -S, --stopped List only not running containers (including the ones with status shown as mounted or suspended). -n, --name Display container names instead of hostnames. -H, --no-header Suppress displaying the header row. -o, --output field[,field...] Display only the specified fields (see Standard fields subsection below). -1 Synonym for -H -octid, i.e. only show container IDs, one per line. -s, --sort [-]field Sort by the value of field (possible arguments are the same as for -o). The - before the field name means sorting in the reverse order. Output filters List of CTs can be further filtered using the following options. For patterns one can use the same wildcards as in shell (i.e. *, ?, and []). Note: to avoid expansion of wildcards by the shell, one have to escape the pattern by either putting it into single quotes (like 'a*a') or by adding a backslash before the wildcard character (like a*a). -h, --hostname pattern List only containers whose hostnames matches the pattern. -N, --name_filter pattern List only containers whose names matches the pattern. -d, --description pattern List only containers with descriptions matching the pattern. Possible fields -L, --list list all available format specifiers that can be used for both output (-o, --output) and the sorting order (-s, --sort). For the user beancounter fields, if suffix is not specified, current usage (a.k.a. "held") value is show. One can also use the fol- lowing suffixes: .m maxheld .b barrier .l limit .f fail counter For the disk quota fields, if suffix is not specified, current usage is shown. One can also use the following suffixes: .s soft limit .h hard limit EXAMPLES
vzlist -o ctid,kmemsize,kmemsize.l -s kmemsize Show CTIDs, kmemsize usage, and kmemsize limit for all running containers, sorted by the kmemsize usage. EXIT STATUS
Returns 0 upon success. COPYRIGHT
