Virtual Private Server (VPS) Providers: Which Virtualization Implementation?
I'am curious which (semi) virtualization implementations you use, and why! Just out of interest...

- VMWare Infrastructure 3
- VMWare ESXi
- VMWare Server
- Virtuozo
- OpenVZ
- XEN
- Linux vserver
- FreeBSD jails
- append the list, if I forgot some

What have been the reasons for your decision? Where do you see disadvantages using other than your choice?

Virtualization Platform
In another thread somebody had mentioned something about Citrix Xenserver utilizing shared iSCSI storage with multiple hardware nodes. I think this is a very intriguing concept, but is there anything open source or less expensive that you have used to accomplish similar resource virtualization?

Whether citrix or not, describe your setup!

Which Virtualization For Desktop
This is a little bit Offtopic here but maybe it's okay to ask my question.

For my GUI software development i need a virtual server solution. It must run WinXP, WinVista, LinuxI386, LinuxAMD64, FreeBSDI386, FreeBSDAMD64 and Solaris.

I'm currently running VMWare with all this systems. But their KVM tools are very instable - especially when waking up from hibernate etc. They eat the key/mouse focus and the only way to get any reaction is often a hard shutdown.

How good are the other Virtualization Kits? I heared that FreeBSD does not work on VirtualBox? I'm especially interested in Xen but i'm not sure if this is good for Desktop use. Seems that it is promoted almost exclusively as a server solution.

Apache X Virtualization
We usually find some constrains using Apache/cpanel (1.3.41). Basically, we serve simple php codes and few images.

We usually setup our server to use lighttpd for static content and apache for dynamic content. Ok, due to some complex requirements on mod_rewrite we use that setup.

But frequently we see our apache reaches it limit and slow down with 0 idle servers. Specially as we have about 270 requests/per second on apache. Our load is low, barely passes 1,2 of load for small periods, our memory ok, our I/O is fine.

But we almost always reaches the 0 idle servers. Until now, our best config was:

Timeout between 60-120
KeepAlive Off
MaxKeepAliveRequests 1000
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 50
MaxSpareServers 200
StartServers 50
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 80

As we clearly see that our server is under usage, I was wondering if it's a limitation on Apache or if I put virtualization on my server and run two apache webservers as cluster I would get better results.

So what do you think about guys? It's a matter of optimization (what could I do better for this httpd.conf setup?) ? Or cluster with virtualization would deliver what I'm looking for.

To Do Virtualization Inside VPS
I have this nice vps, but its on linux, and I always wanted to run windows apps on the vps, because of the nice configuration. I already tried wine, but most of my windows apps don't work, cuz they require .net framework to run.

I tried to instal vmware server and virtualbox, but both of them complain about a kernel problem, they are unable to locate my kernel source, so they can't run.

I am linux newbie, and i am running on a centos 5 operating system.

Some people say its impossible to run virtualization 'inside' virtualization, but i already read some people that say its possible.

2)How we can use Microsoft Volume Licensing on Vmware ESXi and Xen?

3)What is the best solution for windows virtualization?(vmware esxi or hyper-v or xen)

Virtual Iron Virtualization
Basically I need to virtualize a single new dell server. One virtual server needs to run windows 2003 server standard and Microsoft SQL 2005. The other virtual server will run CentOS Linux with a perl and PostgreSQL application.

The dell server is going to have two quad core xeon processors (8 cores total), 8gigs of ram, and two 15,000rpm SAS drives.

I came across Virutal Iron which is free for the single server instance and seems like it will do the job well. Has anybody used it? What is performance like? Seems to run a Java backend so wondering about the performance there.

Any other recommendations? I looked at VMware but the cost is so high, and probably more then I need, since I only need to virtualize a single server.

This machine will be used to run Mysql (32bits or 64bits) and MDaemon (32bits only).

I have 2 options to choose and I'm not pretty sure which is better.

a) Win 2008 32bits Enterprize using PAE for ram support and running Mdaemon 32 and Mysql 32.

b) Win 2008 64bits standard having virtualized a win 2008 64 bits for Mysql 64 and a win 2008 32 bits for MDaemon 32.

Virtualization Solution? VMware, Virtuozzo, Xen..?
I'm running a dedicated server and the main site on the server relies on Windows OS. The site is not fully utilizing the potential of the dedicated server, so I'd like to put some of my other sites on the same server and eliminate the other (shared) hosting I've been using.

Here's the catch... For the other sites, I'd like to run WHM/Cpanel which requires Linux.

If I understand correctly, this leaves me with having to decide on a virtualization solution, which I know nothing about. Some options I have been given are VMware, Virtuozzo, and Xen.

Would you suggest one of these or a different solution entirely?

Virtualization --48Gb @ 1333Mhz Or 72GB @ 800Mhz
So when buying nehalem servers, if you populate 6 rdimms, you can run at 1333Mhz, if you populate 18 rdimms, 800 Mhz (12 rdimms, 1066mhz)

So what do you do for virtualization? the reality is most of the time 48gb is going to be enough for virtualization (that would run 12 4GB servers or 32 2GB servers) and i think at 64gb or more, CPU starts to become a limting factor, but the price of 48GB @ 1333 is slightly more than 72GB @ 800. So what are you guys doing out there? do you go for the performance or do you go with the overkill of memory (that might sometimes come in handy but you probably wont use it all -- more likely just give your VMs more memory for the fun it)? The problem is the 1333 Mhz vs 800 Mhz performance.

Our current environment is a bunch of 16GB servers (50xx chip) and the limitation on us virtualizating more per host is the memory. So I know 48GB is going to be very much welcomed and I think we could use more.. 64gb would be ideal, but we will be happy with 48@1333, but 72GB sounds interesting too, there might be some scenarios where we could use that 72GB although i think performance will shift from memory limitation now to CPU

Do you think if we buy 800Mhz 72gb we will ever look back and think "wish we bought the 48gb 1333 rdimms and not these 800mhz ones"?

I Have Lots Of Bandwidth, But My Host Is Slow - Should I Pay For Virtualization
I use a host that gives me way more bandwidth and space than I need, but it is still super slow. It's Dreamhost who is known for charging very low fees and promising the world. Although my sites do load and I get unlimited everything pretty much, I can't stand the slow loads.

They have offered me virtualization of my server so I can create my own virtual server with 150Mhz and 150MB of dedicated CPU/memory for $15 more a month... do you think that will speed me up a lot or should I just suck it up and pay for a better host that doesn't pimp themselves out so badly?

Virtualization - Enterprise Installs? VMWare, Xen, Virtual Iron?
A company i am working with is looking to install a VMWare setup comprising of something like this :

6x Dual Proc Quad Core Nodes with 16GB RAM
2x Clustered iSCSN SAN Nodes

I am intending on purchasing the full suite including DRS/HA/VMotion.

Now this is all well and good but the software pricing is absolutely horrendous! So my question to you chaps is :

Is anyone using the latest Virtual Iron or Xen Enterprise in a high end environment?

Obviously VMWare is the market leader, the big boys are using it and its something you can bank on. (literally! HSBC use it ALOT!)

Is it even worth looking at VI/Xen for something like this? The cost would be like a quarter of the total cost of a VMWare license.

Dedicated Or Reseller Setup With Virtualization Or Decent Chroot Setup
As my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.

What I'm looking for:

- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice

However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.

My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?

Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com

Server2

ClamAV On A CPanel Server
I've got ClamAV installed on my cPanel (Dedicated) server with a single site and would am having trouble setting up ClamAV to scan emails.

I installed it via WHM and have set it up in WHM to scan all items.

Ie: WHM -> Plugins -> Configure ClamAV Scanner -> Scan ALL items

After doing a few manual scans however (using 'clamscan -ri') I'm finding infections in the account mail folder.

1. Is there a good guide to setting up ClamAV on a cPanel serve do do automatic mail scanning? I was under the impression that ClamAV scans emails also however after doing some reading people seem to recommend MailScanner.

2. My logwatch is giving me the following error.

The ClamAV update process (freshclam daemon) was not running! If you no longer wish to run freshclam, deleting the freshclam.log file will suppress this error message. 

The freshclam daemon wasn't running so I've started it (freshclam --daemon). I've also checked the freshclam.conf file and the logrile is set as follows:

UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log

Cpanel Server Transfer
I have to move 140 domains from my old cpanel dedicated server to the new one and have root access on both.

Earlier I wanted to avoid copying unnecessary files and was thinking of creating fresh domains/emails on new server and transfering content, but then realised that it will need more than 160 hours of manual labour (including informing clients that their passwords have changed).

Please advice as to which transfer method will be best based on the following constraints:

1. 70 domains will be done one week and remaining 70 next week while both servers continue to run.

2. On the new server all domains will have different nameservers.

METHOD 1. Putting same version of WHM-stable on both servers and using its "Copy an account from old server" feature. After copying the 70 accounts (one-by-one seems to cause less issues with large sites) we change nameservers for those 70 domains over the weekend.

METHOD 2: For every account on old server use "Generate a full cp backup" and let cPanel FTP it to a dummy account on the new server. Restore on new server and change nameservers for those 70 domains over the weekend.

METHOD 3: Run "/scripts/pkgacct username" on old server, move the tar.gz file to new new server. Restore on new server and change nameservers for those 70 domains over the weekend.

METHOD 4: Reduce TTL for A records on old server. Use WHM "Copy an account" on new server. Then modify DNS on old server to point to new server IPs. Now change nameservers at Registrar.

METHOD 5: Asking my datacenter people to use rsync etc. But this will move all data together,

Maintaining CPanel Server
I am thinking of purchasing a dedicated server running Cent OS 5 with cPanel installed.

The reason for doing this is the websites I run have large bandwidth usage and usually result in getting banned from shared hosting. I will not be reselling the hosting or have other clients on the server, just myself.

I have found a provider that offers good server prices along with 100MB/s unmetered bandwidth. Unfortunately to keep the prices low there are completely unmanaged.

I have some Linux knowledge with setting up and maintaining servers in small environments but not on the internet where lots of security issues come to light.

Will this server running cPanel be hard to maintain and is a firewall installed with or will this be a third party add-on / installation. I am worried as this will be the first t cPanel ime I will have a server exposed to the internet and do not want to be hacked etc.

As you can see there is no account info regarding who send spam mail.

In server phpsuexec is enabled.

In Tweak Settings, "Track the origin of messages sent though the mail server by adding the X-Source headers (exim 4.34+ required)" is enabled.

The spamer domain aliativa.com (why no one take the spamer down ?) is not hosted by us. But found following in exim_mainlog

MySQL Keeps Down (Cpanel Server)
I have a Cpanel server with a problem: SQL keeps failing

Everytime I try to restart MySQL via WHM, it gives me:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't
connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
exists! mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "mysql
has failed").

I can only restart it successfully after 2nd attempt. Server load is always low. Memory usage is also low.

It happens in very short interval (in less than every 1-10 minutes)

It never happens until recently when my server management company tweak something I didn't know. They said fixed it and then it happens again every minutes.

I have 9 servers and it never happens to the rest 8 servers. Just this server always happening.

Backup On Cpanel Server - How And Why
How should I go about the backup of my cpanel server.

I have 2x 250gigs drive in raid 1 + 1x 250gigs hd mounted as /backup

I also need offsite backup.

Im reading, and im a bit confuse how I should approach this backup thing.

Here are a few of my questions:

1) Should I use the built in cpanel backup or a different script?

2) With offsite backup, rsync seems to be the way to go?

3) If I have a 250gigs drive as /home, it seems that my /backup drive needs to be way larger to accept daily / weekly / monthly backup?

4) Is offsite also needs daily /weekly / monthly backup?

CPanel Server Status ?'s
When looking at the above page (and I've been told this reflects the usage of the entire server I'm on, not just my vps) everything looks fine except the Memory Usage. It's up at about 75%

Email Not Getting Through On Cpanel Server
I just realized for the past week we have not been getting email on one of our servers.

If I send a test message to a non-existant account (that's set to :fail:) I get a bounce-back, so apparently exim is awake and answering.

But if I send an email to a physical account or an account forwarded to another service like gmail, it never shows up, and no error is ever sent to the sending address...

Very bad. I can't imagine the contacts that have been lost at this point.

ConfigServer mail manage shows absolutely no email waiting.
