Blind Answer – you should be able to; Asterisk doesn’t rebuild the kernel.
You might have to get some “kernel source” using ZYPPER (in caps so Outlook
express doesn’t change it to zipper).
Absolutely right: 1.6.x works fine with OpenVZ and Virtuozzo out of the box
as long as you don’t need any hardware interfaces. You don’t need any kernel
sources, though these are available. You basically just install exactly as
you would on any other system. There is no problem with timing (e.g. MOH) -
at least none that I’ve ever come across and at least not for 1.6.x which is
what I’ve used under Virtuozzo for some time now.
If you want to install Digium g.729 licenses you need to do some small
configuration changes but these are easy to do and full instructions are on
the OpenVZ Wiki somewhere.
1- I am interested in this as well. Looking into Proxmox as it provides a
nice interface (do you guys know of any other good one?)
2- Would the conference calls be fine as well? I understanding Asterisk
1.6.x uses a kernel timing source now a days so that ztdummy is not needed
anymore?
3- Would installing from yum repository be just fine?
Some days ago in my lab I setup Proxmox, installed a CentOS 5.2 appliance on
OpenVZ, installed all asterisk related stuff (except dahdi), including php,
mysql, munin, other tools, set it up with a dialplan and it worked just
fine. Then manually made multiple copies of the folder where all this
installation was stored. This gave me multiple instances of CentOS/asterisk,
which I configured with unique IP addresses. I have been using this setup
for a few days now and all seems good. I plan to test conferencing next
week. So far seems like a good and stable setup.

Sorry for the offtopic.
And I agree, you should have no problems with asterisk using it inside
an openVZ VPS.
