Has the VZ bug where "doing a Windows Update on a node applies it to the whole server and then reboots the node" been fixed yet. We offer Linux VPS using VZ and was going to use it for Windows too but when I heard that I put the plan on hold.
As many of you are aware..I have two of these from 1and1..and are quite enjoying them..and may even add a third to the fleet today.
Aside from no update thing..many of you have had misadventures with these I would care not to have. Are there limitations to what you can install? I remember putting Oracle on one before..and that worked fine (surprised me) and I have put Tomcat on a linux vps before..worked fine...even after I started seriously using it (which is sometimes when fun really starts) and it was still fine.
I am more intersted in using these to test CGI scripts..learn ASP and .NET..and whatnot. I guess my primary question is this:
Can these be used to test applications before trying them on a real server? How close to the real thing are these vps's?
If experience is useful..it would say pretty darn close to the real thing. I do need a Vmware based one, though.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of each solution? So far we have been using Virtuozzo Windows VPS and we would like to learn how it compares to MS Virtual Server 2005.
Does anyone know if running centOS 5.2 as a host OS on a dedicated server would be able to run both Linux and Windows VPS servers using virtuozzo? on their video it says you can however i cant find where/how to install a windows server 2003 template.
We use VS 2005 and are happy with the stability and performance etc but wanted to know if there are any great advantages to using virtuozzo? It seems that a higher ratio of VPS per box can be achieved with virtuozzo due to the ability to share RAM but is this worth it for the extra cost of licenses and possible security / stability risks?
Is there any windows software which will allow me to login to my Virtuozzo Power Panel instead of the web interface? I know that one exists for hypervm.
Without any fanfare, at the beginning of September, Parallels released Virtuozzo Containers (formerly Virtuozzo) 4.5.
Version 4, launched in January, unified for the first time the Windows and Linux branches, introducing major new features like virtual SMP masking and support for Microsoft and Red Hat cluster services.
Version 4.5, which is built on this new architecture, brings in a wire range of new capabilities:
Support for Windows Server 2008 (32/64bit, with or without Hyper-V, up to Service Pack 1) and its new Failover Clustering
Support for Hyper-V (it’s not exactly clear if this just means that the Hyper-V parent partition can be segmented in containers, or something else)
Support for TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) NICs inside the containers
Support for new 3rd party backup and anti-virus solutions (including the ones provided by AVG, CA, EMC, IBM, McAfee, Symantec and F-Secure)
Support for iSCSI inside the containers (a container can be an Initiator)
Support for IPv6 addresses inside the containers
It’s not entirely clear why Parallels didn’t promote in any way what is still considered its flagship product. It is true that the large majority of the attention is focused on hardware virtualization, but the company OS virtualization platform should still have a competitive advantage over VMware, Citrix and Microsoft hypervisors in the hosting industry, which is well worth some more marketing effort.
We are wondering why Parallels haven't been shouting from the rooftops. This is a game changer.
I was just curious as to how virtuozzo manages the cpu usage. Do all VPS's just use as much cpu as they can at one time or is there a min and max limit?
We're currently using virtuozzo and have been but we are thinking of starting a Xen server as our techs have the technical expertise to manage a Xen server. I'm just wondering whether we would be better off with this or not, compared to Virtuozzo.
I've noticed a lot of the recommended VPS' are using Virtuozzo (e.g. KickAssVPS and WiredTree). Can anyone recommend good Windows VPS that utilize other software (ESX, Xen, Hyper-V)?
I installed Apf on Virtuozzo VE, which went well until I enabled it. I could not access Plesk installed on the machine, then I realized it was listening to port 8880 from the Service VE as well as 8443. Enabling 8880 in the common ports solved the problem, but I only want it blocked for everything BUT the Service VE.
I looked in the manual and the section that discusses adding custom rules for aliases only has a header and does not have any description.
Anyone know how to block port 8880 to the world but allow 8880 to a particular IP?
We are having an issue when trying to cache Fedora Core 10.
Code:
vzpkg create cache fedora-core-10-x86_64 Creation OS template cache for fedora-core-10-x86_64 template Error: Python directory not found in /vz/pkgenv/rpm46x64 Error: Can't find environment directory /vz/pkgenv/rpm46x64: No such file or directory
The only recent changes that have been made is the Hostname. Before making this change, I was caching OS templates like it was christmas.
I've read that Virtuozzo 4.0 supported ipv6. I'm having problems finding anything to help setup the node for ipv6. I can't anything on the web except for some people talking about how to disable ipv6. So I was just wondering if anyone else has seen anything.
Edit: I don't think I posted in the correct section. Opps. Could a moderator move this to the right section?
I have an main server which has ssh configured that it connects to main vz server without password. How to connect to all vz servers and lets say do command cat /etc/resolv.conf and send result to my email address?
I believe it should be something like this:
ssh server1;vzlist ..;vzenter 1$,2$;cat /etc/resolv.conf | mail bla@blah.com....;ssh server2;vzlist ..;vzeneter... and so on so forth.
I got a Virtuozzo VPS couple a days ago and I am having some problems with it. I can't get a hold of the host because he/she is "migrating" company website at the moment.
VPS OS - Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit (Initially was 64-bit but I can't even get SSH to work. The host reloaded with 32-bit.)
Initially I was getting some permission problem on /dev/null for regular users. I fixed that with following and stick it in /etc/rc.local
chmod go+rw /dev/null
Now I can't get screen to work. It said something about "No More PTYs.".
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)
We have a client on a VPS (Virtuozzo) that is failing PCI Compliance through McAfee as the port for the "power panel" in Viruozzo uses week SSL encryption.
Since we can't block the port (as users need to be able to access it) does anyone know how we can possibly upgrade that or change things so that it will pass compliance?
All other ports on the server are fine, but the port 4643 keeps failing under the ScanAlert scans: Low Strength Ciphers (< 56-bit key) SSLv2 EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=RC2(40) Mac=MD5 export EXP-RC4-MD5 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=RC4(40) Mac=MD5 export SSLv3 EXP-EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA Kx=DH(512) Au=RSA Enc=DES(40) Mac=SHA1 export EXP-DES-CBC-SHA Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=DES(40) Mac=SHA1 export EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=RC2(40) Mac=MD5 export EXP-RC4-MD5 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=RC4(40) Mac=MD5 export TLSv1 EXP-EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA Kx=DH(512) Au=RSA Enc=DES(40) Mac=SHA1 export EXP-DES-CBC-SHA Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=DES(40) Mac=SHA1 export EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=RC2(40) Mac=MD5 export EXP-RC4-MD5 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=RC4(40) Mac=MD5 export Medium Strength Ciphers (>= 56-bit and < 112-bit key) SSLv2 DES-CBC-MD5 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=DES(56) Mac=MD5 RC4-64-MD5 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(64) Mac=MD5 SSLv3 EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=DES(56) Mac=SHA1 DES-CBC-SHA Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=DES(56) Mac=SHA1 TLSv1 EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=DES(56) Mac=SHA1 DES-CBC-SHA Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=DES(56) Mac=SHA1
Anyone have any suggestions on how we can resolve this issue for the client?
Does anyone know the basic information for the Virtuozzo API? We are working with Matt from WHMCS to create a custom module for Virtuozzo to auto provision VPS's however the API docs we submitted were not sufficient as there were no clear "functions".
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.
Does any dedicated server provider give a Virtuozzo license with unlimited VEs? I've noticed that most of them give 3, 10, or max. 100. Do you have any idea why wouldn't they give a license for unlimited VEs and why are they restricting the number of VEs that we can create on a server since, as far as I've understood, Viruozzo provides license considering the CPU no.s, but not the number of VEs.
I would like to know which one is better for running java application in term of performance or stability. 16Gb RAM server 15 clients on Virtuozzo or Xen. 1Gb RAM each client.
