Plesk 10 on a ProxMox OpenVZ VM
- Thread starter raid
- Start date
I have succesfully installed Plesk 10.0.1 on Proxmox OpenVZ Container, now I will start testing....
The first problem encountered is: Adding IP address to Plesk panel.
I cannot manage IP addresses through page IP addresses management at {Server -> IP Addresses}. Button "Add New IP Address" is grayed out! and an info says: This Parallel Plesk Intallation runs into a Virtuozzo Container, new Ip can be added only by Virtuozzo Node Admin".
I found this document in the Parallel KM : http://kb.parallels.com/en/6176, it said:
To add new IP address login to Hardware Node and execute the following command:
~# vzctl set CTID --ipadd 192.168.34.81 --save
Adding IP address(es) to pool: 192.168.34.81
Adding IP address(es): 192.168.34.81
Saved parameters for Container CTID
~#
Where CTID is id of Virtuozzo Container where Parallels Plesk Panel is installed.
Then you should update Plesk database according to existing IP addresses on interfaces. Login to Virtuozzo Container with Parallels Plesk Panel and run utility 'ifmng':
~# vzctl enter CTID
entered into Container CTID
-bash-3.2# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/ifmng --reread
-bash-3.2#
This will write new IP address to Plesk database and make it visible on page IP management in Parallels Plesk Panel {Server -> IP Addresses}. Alternatively you may synchronize IP addresses through the control panel at {Server -> P Addresses -> Reload IP}.
================
What does ProxMox gurus thinks about that?
I am testing on Proxmox 1.7, and I'm using Shorewall (pubblic IP natted on Private IP).
The container private IP is 192.168.2.102 natted on its Pubblic IP.
My production plesk web server use about 5 public IP and 3 of them have their own SSL certficate.
Any tips?
thanks

You can add additional IP address via the "Network" tab in the virtual machine configuration. separate them with a comma, like this.
"1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2, 3.3.3.3, 4.4.4.4, 5.5.5.5, 6.6.6.6, 7.7.7.7"
Virtuozzo Containers are powered by OpenVZ the same technology that Proxmox uses.

BEST PRACTICE for Plesk 10 on proxmox
GREAT PROXMOX !!!!
BEST PRACTICE installing Plesk 10 on proxmox question:
The Plesk manual said:
If you deploy Parallels Plesk Panel into VPSes other than Virtuozzo-based (Parallels Virtuozzo Containers or OpenVZ containers), consider switching the Panel to a special mode of operation - optimized for virtual environments. The mode switches off modules that are not critical for hosting services. This makes the Panel use less memory than other control panels available on the market, which ensures better utilization of hardware resources and increased density of virtual environments per server.
/usr/local/psa/bin/vps_optimized --turn-on
-------------------------------------------------------
Since is not possible disable this feature once activated, my question is:
is it recommended to enable this feature on a proxmox VM?
IMHO as proxmox is an OpenVZ virtual container so this feature should be disabled, isn't it?
thanks for the answer
