create a boot USB key , supposed your USB key associated with device /dev/sdb
# dd if=openvz-iso-9.0.1-383.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress
boot on the USB key and follow the traditional RHEL like installation process

in this test lab of OVZ9 we would like to test VMs and CTs on different Vlans, so there is a networking configuration stage to prepare. As there's not yet a dedicated OVZ9 doc on this, we'll take a combination of OVZ7 and RHEL9 docs on this matter :
By default, OVZ9 installer creates a bridge0 (br0) on ethernet1 (eno1) and assignes the IP address (dhcp by default, fix it !)
[root@tovz ~]# nmcli device status DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION br0 bridge connected Bridge br0 virbr0 bridge connected (externally) virbr0 eno1 ethernet connected eno1 eno2 ethernet disconnected -- eno3 ethernet disconnected -- eno4 ethernet disconnected -- lo loopback unmanaged --
[root@tovz ~]# brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.e0db550d6768 no eno1 virbr0 8000.525400a50a98 yes
