Problem

When starting an Openvz 7 based KVM VM, an error appears with the following:

Resolution

The error is appearing because OpenVZ 7 expects to have the Firewalld daemon running. If it can’t find it, it will throw the above error and prevent from starting the VM. To solve the problem, just start your firewalld daemon.

service firewalld start
