For updating existing OpenNode OS 6 installations please run:

yum update
service libvirt restart

NB! If you are currently running vzkernel version older than

run yum update for OS update like this:

yum install vzkernel
reboot
yum update
service libvirt restart

NB! VM stop/start default behaviour on host reboot has now changed to 
suspend/resume mode. It can be reverted back to stop/start mode by issuing:

sed -i '/^VE_STOP_MODE=/ c VE_STOP_MODE=stop' /etc/vz/vz.conf
