because Virtuozzo is charged, i think it may more easy to manage for admin and user,
xen has it's own feature than Virtuozzo,but i feel hypervm is not very friendly to use ( my personal feeling)
I would like to know which clients would prefer Virtuozzo over HyperVM. Lets say there is a company offering Virtuozzo on there servers. However, there is another company offering HyperVM for a cheaper price. Neither companies are overselling. Would you be willing to pay the extra money for Virtuozzo? Or would you be happy with OpenVZ and HyperVM.
I have used hypervm for over a year and can say it's my favorite. With my jump to futurehost I did not realize they used Virtuozzo until I logged in for the first time.
First reaction was disappointment but the reality is it's not that bad. I am hoping someone can comment on one thing though.
On hypervm if I loaded it with several sites that were being given a load I would typically use between 480mb - 700mb at any given time (Apache, not lighttpd with lxadmin) On Virtuozzo when I loaded 4 somewhat heavy sites on the VPS I am using 88 megs of ram out of 1.5gb and I am once again using apache and lxadmin. If these 4 sites were on hypervm with lxadmin I know I would idle at around 350mb and with decent load roughly 650-700mb.
The sites seem to run good but I just can't figure why hypervm would require up to 7.5x's the resources.
As a provider of Virtual Private Servers im looking at ways to expand our business, I love the fact that we can offer our clients such a good service with the low price we presently charge but as a "Client" or "Potential Client" what would your views be on Virtuozzo?
Is it worth our business cutting our already low profits and going with Virtuozzo as our VPS Control Panel?
This is something we are very interested in doing and we feel it would be a big jump from the very low-end budget HyperVM/OpenVZ Approach.
Your Views on the Virtuozzo Vs HvM/OvZ would be very helpfull.
Would you rather buy a low priced Virtozzo VPS or an even lower priced HyperVM powered VPS? Im quite lost as to wether the financial investment would be worth it, I don't see how it wouldnt be as HyperVM is very buggy and really doesnt give a full sense of security in my personal opinion.
Does anyone know how you can move an entire HyperVM (OpenVZ) Node to Virtuozzo. What has to be copied because we tried coping /vz/private/<VEID> and /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/<VEID> and we were not able to get the VE to start. We were getting an error:
Starting Container ... Can't mount: /vz/template:/vz/private/1110 /vz/root/1110: No such file or directory Container start failed
We tried rebooting the server as some other sites mention but still no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated because when we contacted Parallels they did not seem to have answer. (we are still waiting on a ticket reply though)
Its becoming more and more difficult to manage VPS using HyperVM and I am personally sick of the control panel design.
So does anyone have any great ideas to move all the VPS in HyperVM (OVZ) to Virtuozzo (PIM)?
If there isn't, I think I'll have to move all data across the orthodox way - which I clearly want to avoid.
PS: OVZ is on a different node from the VZ (duh!) but also will be utilizing different IP ranges. So, I think I need advice on changing IPs of the VEs too.
So a few days ago we had the wonderful experience of migrating Virtual Private Servers from HyperVM to Virtuozzo. After spending endless hours attempting to migrate with vzmigrate, vzp2v and rsync we were getting very frustrated and were just about to give up. With this we decided to contact our datacenter SoftLayer who usually is able to help out. Like always they managed to rise to the challange and save the day providing us with a solution thay may not have been the best, but probably the only one. We must have searched the entire Internet looking for guides and after we found out a solution we knew it had to be posted so that the frustration we went through would never have to happen again. While this solution is a little timely and requires some work it actually isn't as bad as it sounds. Also we have created a little shell scripts that does a good amount of the migration for you. Below I have made step by step instructions so that there will no longer be "no answer" to this question. Also just to let you know we contacted Parallels and unfortunatly we were told that "I can not find anything in our knowledgebase". Basiclly useless support... they regurgiate their online knowledgebase to you. So below is the guide.
Pre-Requisites:
1. Download the Migration Kit zip that includes the shell scripts for the migration.
Migration Kit Download: [url]
2. You must create a new container in Virtuozzo for each HyperVM VPS that you would like to migrate. You MUST use the same VEID and I you need to keep the hostname the same. Also the OS TEMPLATE you pick DOES NOT MATTER! If you are copying a customer HyperVM template don't worry cause the OS Template has no effect as far as I know. We transfered 30+ VPS's and the OS TEMPLATE made no difference.
3. Stop the container you created and mount it.
Code: # vzctl stop <VEID> #vzctl mount <VEID> For LIVE MIGRATION SKIP TO STEP 4b.
4a. Stop the VPS on the source server (HyperVM) and mount it.
Code: # vzctl stop <VEID> #vzctl mount <VEID> 4b. Leaving the VPS running while migrating has a risk of posible database corruption. During our migration we did it this way and we experienced no issues so I think it is safe to say that in rare cases there may be problems but usually not.
5. Unzip the Migration Kit and be inside the folder where it was unziped.
6. Execute the shell script.
Code: ./migrate.sh <IP-ADDRESS> IP-ADDRESS = the IP Address of the source VPS Node
7. Enter the CTID when the prompt requests it. (CTID = VEID)
8. Enter the root password for the server you are migrating from.
9. The script runs inside a screen session so to back out of it to do other things or start another migration you must hit:
Code: CTRL + A + D To list all the screens you have open.
Code: # screen -ls To enter a screen session
Code: # screen -r SESS-ID SESS-ID = the numbers before the period listed when you list all the open screens.
10. Once the migration is completed a broadcast message will alert you. Also if you check /var/log/migrate/migrate.log will contain all the migrations that have completed.
11. Once a migration has completed you must unmount the VPS and start it.
Code: # vzctl umount <VEID> # vzctl start <VEID>
If everything went "ok" than your VPS should start up without issues and should be just like it was on the old server. Lastly I would like to give credit to SoftLayer for the method of migration. Thanks again SoftLayer
I currently have vps with Hypervm and I was wondering how do I add additional ip's from the ip pool? I do not see the ip pool in my administration panel. Would it be under the server pool? My provider allocates ips to the ip pool but I do not know how to add them myself.
I am trying to create some vps using openvz but after creating the vps with the Centos basic template 304mb i can't ping the ip and i can't view the centos welcome page in my browser (using ip and not domain, so i don't need to change there anything yet) and the most important is that i can't connect to the vps using ssh
I aks for many good users about my problem but i don' found a solution yet.
I ask my DC about ip's and they told me that the ip's are routed in my server.
When you're creating VPS container, you can ssh with that IP and login with your username and password correct? But, what is the problem when I successfully created a VPS, and when trying ssh into it, I can't. Ok, here we go. I want to create a 2nd vps and will be using it as my DNS server. I enter a set of IPs into HyperVM's IPpool. First IP: x.x.x.178 Last IP: x.x.x.182 Resolv Entries (space Separated) : Gateway (IP): x.x.x.x.177 NetMask: 255.255.255.248
Then I created a vps resource plan. And then I created a VPS and it use the first IP from above. I want to connect to SSH and want to make it as my DNS server but seems the IP are not responding, it wasn't even live. So, what is the problem here? Where I did wrong? Just to let you know, I successfully created 1 VPS before that and it works without any hiccups. Got even whm/cpanel installed as well on it. The thing that I suspected is that my DC pulled the IPs off me and assigned them to other server. Waiting for their reply on this though.
i've created VPS with OpenVZ.And there is some problem i have access the vps and it's show some error
Code: VM creation has failed. Reason: Private area already exists in /vz/private/250 .At the moment i forgot my SSH details..only i know my hypervm "root" details..where i log with admin password.I need to fix this because some clients of my hosting company is waiting and my number of VPS is limited.
I just ordered a VPS at connectswitch and now I can login into HyperVM but, at the homepage of the VPS server there is the following error:
The VM () Doesn't Exist on localhost. If you have migrated the vps, you can manually change the server in the database using the below, Or restore from backup.
As well all know there has been a hypervm exploit which may have taken down fsckvps and other hosts have been having attacks. If possible install any program that will warn you of a connection to your server and or provide input on what it may or may not be.
I myself Just had a blank php format file uploaded to a clients vps and It tried accessing other vps servers. As far as I know the ip was rapidly changing and untraceable (this may or may not be from the exploit), If anyone else is having hypervm attacks or server attacks please post here so instead of working within our own company's we are working as a group of over 10 thousand+ wht members to solve this issue ourselves.
When I try to add my ip it show error that the ip is already exist now I can not buy additional license. I submit ticket to lxlabs but no reply, If I change main Ip then it will make any difference to other VMs?
when I ordered new server , I ordered 12 IP's with it and then installed HyperVM on my server and tried creating a VM and I enter the secondl IP address assigned by datacenter to me and I see : Ip already in use , I rang up Datacenter I think they removed the IP's from my main server so that can be added in HyperVM , I added and I was able to make VPS now
and when I made VPS I assigned the ip to it say : xx.xx.xx.8 and selected 2 in Number Of Ips(from Pool) and according to that the next two IP's should be xx.xx.xx.9 and xx.xx.xx.10 correct? , I add them in new cPanel VPS and then I go to cPanel Basic Setup and assign xx.xx.xx.8 to my ns1... and xx.xx.xx.9 to my ns2 (Nameserver) and add those IP in namecheap to register nameservers and damn it doesnt work more than 24 hrs passed away not working yet
Currently trying to get OpenVPN to work on my CentOS VPS, however not getting very far with it. I have followed the guide here: [url]
No problems with the guide, everything worked well! However when i goto start the openVPN service it fails with the following output in the log:
