RE: [Vserver] Physical to virtual ?

2006-11-04 Thread ehab heikal
There is a page on this in the wiki and on the forums of openvz ( openvz
is similar to vserver and so the same applies but you need to take care
of the differences in commands and data files. )

Basically the procedure is to create a newvserver with the minimum
requirement having the same dstribution and IP as your physical server
then copy the directories preferable with rsync to the vserver make sure
that you do not copy /proc or /dev directories. Then you need to
manually edit a few files and remove a few services.

I tried it and it works well and was easier than I anticipated.

Subject: [Vserver] Physical to virtual ?





Hi.



 I have a couple of physical linux servers, that I'd like to move to a
vserver environment (have them running on a single physical host)...
What is the easiest way to do this ? Can I do something with copying
most of the files from the physical server to a vserver catalog (maybe
by using tar - I have the possibility to use IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
as well) ??



Regards



/Brian

RE: [Vserver] 64bit centos templates?

2006-09-27 Thread ehab heikal
About the 64 bit issue and performance. When running on AMD always go
for 64bit if you can. When running on Intel, older 64bit implementations
are sometimes slower in 64bit than in 32bit. That also holds to newer
intel processors including core 2 duo but to a lesser extent where in
some benchmarkes it was faster and in some it was slower. MySQL on 64bit
AMD is great.

so far i found only one centos4 64bit vserver image that was 
labelled 'default'. it turned out to not even have a text editor other
than 
ed and no way to bring packages into it. no yum or update.

does anyone know of a decent image available? ultra-basic is fine as
long as 
it has nano/pico and yum already installed.

the 32bit runs fine, but i would prefer 64bit guests (at least i *think*
i 
would). i have a good full featured gentoo one, but a package we need to
run 
for some things requires a redhat-style os. we would have to re-license
it to 
use other than centos.

I am trying to build

I tried to unpack a

rm -f /var/lib/__db*; rpm --rebuilddb should fix it, I think.

 defaults to installing x64 and I would rather have 386.

I think changing /etc/rpm/platform is the only way to fix that, 
alternatively removing it and then using setarch i386 should work.

 I recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge 2850 that I'm using for 
 vservers.  I'm using Gentoo for the host and guests.  Seems to work 
 really great so far. I purchased 4 10k rpm 73G u320 drives and use 
 them in a single raid5 partition.  I then used LVM2 to partiion up the

 space.
 
 Here's the output of fdisk -l :

 As you can see, I have a partition for /boot, /, and swap.  The rest 
 is for

RE: [Vserver] VServer vs OpenVZ

2005-12-06 Thread Ehab Heikal
As far as I know the only nice thing in openvz and freevps that is to my
knowledge missing in linux-vserver is virtual network devices. Other
than that, vserver is much better due to the huge community support that
you will most probably not get from swsoft since they are more
interested in selling virtuozzo than supporting the free openvz.

 My planned usage is VServers in a hosting setting.

2005-06-25 Thread Ehab Heikal
What we need here is PR too. If someone here knows how to create press
releases and distribute them it would be good for the adoption of the
project. But there are fundamental differences between Xen and vserver.

Xen allows different Operating systems to run on the same server, now
only linux and I think freebsd. Vserver only allows linux. The uppoint
of vserver is that the kernel is shared wich means lower memory
footprint. I think unification also reduces needed memory.

I have not been here for a long time, have you guys implemented virtual
ethernet devices per vserver like freevps?

This is called PR. If you read this, you'll have a better idea of what's

going on here:

Xen was funded by commercial research money (from Microsoft and Intel 
IIRC) with the intent of turning it into a commercial venture, which is 
what Xensource is. All this buzz is to a large degree artificially 
generated to support the venture.

 Apparently the current version (v2) isn't that great but the next
 version (due out in August) sounds like a huge leap forward.

And longhorn will just totally kick ass, so I heard! :-)

RE: [Vserver] ~~Migrate from Single box to MVM

2005-05-30 Thread Ehab Heikal
What you need to do first is make sure that ensim will run well within a
VPS it is my modest experience that some control panels do not work well
in VPS due to them requireing being able to talk to hardware devices
directly which is not possible in VPS.


Also one word of advise if you have clients on this system test the
migration on local computers before you try to do it with client's
stuff.

Title: Message



how 
stable is the 2.6 branch of vserver, would you run it in a production 
envoirnment. If it is not very stable, would the instability affect the vservers 
or the main server. In my case I have a large site that would benefit if some of 
the services on it is in a vserver, so I can have the main site on the main 
server and some less important services on vservers if the instability is only 
in the vservers.

Re: [Vserver] Plesk 7

2004-11-02 Thread Ehab Heikal
sorry this is a side track how did you update your system via yum, i tried
it in virtuozzo and it would not install basic things like GCC with out
conflicting with other packages, the rpm package itself inside virtuozo is
not the normal version and many things depend a new standard version of rpm.

  I have been working on plesk for two years, yes it has some bad points
 users
  love it. Simplifies life. Do you have any idea how your host installed
it
 in
  a vserver?

 They didn't.  As I said, my virtual server is via Virtuozzo (or whatever
 they call it) produced by sw-soft.  It's not running vserver.

 The think I dislike most about plesk is the way it stops you from
upgrading
 software (spamassassin would be an example), and if you make a custom
change
 or upgrade, when they release the next patch, you can't install it without
 destroying and modifications to the system.  For example, 7.1.5 is now
out,
 but I can't upgrade without destroying my custom
qmail/clamav/spamassassin3
 install, so I will just have to stay with 7.1.4 and address security
issues
 by using yum to keep things up to date.

 As for the 'cheap' server Vs expensive server (but divided).

 I would rather have two AMD64 PC's, with hardware SATA RAID, lot's of ram,
 clustered to each other via fiber, than I would have one expensive server.
 It would still be cheaper, and something freak (such as a motherboard /
 memory /cpu failure) would still not take it down.  I imagine the
 performance would be pretty much equal unless you were trying to run a
 hotmail mirror!

 Still, I'm stuck on a $40 VPS now so it's all speculation.

 Do yourself a favor, stay well away from plesk.  It may look pretty and
have
 a few nice features, but I have it on a VPS and it takes so much control
of
 the system, it stops you upgrading certain packages (e.g. mysql), it uses
 it's own highly modified packages for some areas of the server etc.  Just
 save yourself the headache and use something else.

 Unfortunaly I had to use plesk as it was part of the VPS package.  I could
 not find a comparable Vserver host for the same kind of money.  I get 15GB
 of space, 256MB dedicated ram etc etc for $40.  Vserver setups seem to
give
 less for more money, some jokers even try and charge $100 for a Vserver
with
 5GB of disk space etc, but you can get yourself a dedicated server for
that!

 Anyway, just don't use plesk, thats all I can say :)

   we have tested plesk7 a few weeks ago.
   the plesk-developer-crew have installed it on our vserver-machines.
  
  HP Sidenote: SWsoft does not only do control panels like
  HP Plesk or Confixx it also produces and sells Virtuozzo ;)
  
   results:
   a lot of problems in vserver-context.
  
  HP maybe the plesk-developer-crew is not so experienced
  HP in handling 'other' virtualization techniques ...
 
  indeed.
 
  HP anyway, is there a list of issues you encountered
  HP and can you tell if they are pleask or vserver related?
 
  this was done by a ex-team-colleague.
  i did not crosscheck the problems.
 
  there are only 2 snaps outof _my_ mailarchive,
  but maybe it can help somebody:
 
  *)
  | ... `hostname` command is intensive used in Plesk libraries,
  | so please not disable this feature. ...
 
  *)
  | 0: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/cmd_mpc.php3:1 psaerror(string Unable to
generate data: Unable to get
  | system data: invalid value of psa_server_ip = '') 1:
/usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/mpc.php:1
  | get_mpc_encrypted_data(string extras_server, array)
 
  a workaround with a dummyscript should work.
 
  | /bin/hostname which will return '0':
  | #!/bin/sh
  | exit 0
 
  but the plesk-crew mean:
 
  | host `hostname`
  | ('hostname' should be original hostname utility from SuSE, not fake
script).

 well, hostname, for example will work both to get and
 to set the hostname inside a vs1.9.2 or later linux-
 vserver guest .. so that should not pose any problem

 OTOH, host does just do ip lookup, and in this case
 it's more likely to be a misconfigured dns/resolver
 than any other issue ...

  so far i got the infos,
  the main-problem was the restricted access to the hardware-resources.

 hmm, what would be the point in having a virtual
 server, when this server has full access to the
 hardware (resources) ...

  p.s:
  we use on our vserver-machines only suse-linux.
  and plesk is not stable with suse.

 and not stable means?

  lg.
  k.

 thanks for the infos,
 Herbert

wasn't that hard to adapt it, but the scheduler stuff
(per vserver process accounting) had to go for now.
btw, the original RH kernel seem broken in many different
ways, some opentions like devfs for example, will not
allow the kernel to be built at all, not to speak of
other archs ... anyway, this is not considered stable
but it seems to work ...

I need them since a specific driver supports only RH kernels or so its 
vendor says.

   

If that's not a binary-only driver, that's pretty much going to be
bullshit. They may only support offical rh-kernels, but the driver is
supposed to work in any kernel of the same version.

Re: [Vserver] Reiser4 views/process oriented security proposal

I know this is not the core of this list but could you elaborate on how 
is hardware bad these days. What kinds of tests do you run to reduce 
this. I see that you have very very valueable know-how and would really 
appreciate it :)

Reiserfs3 is supposed to be stable , but the last time I had a

For what it's worth, we use reiser3 on every server we sell (several
thousand so far) and have never run into reiser random corruption problems
except in the case of hardware that later turned out to be definitely
faulty.
We always run a memory test on every server before it ships, and we return
about 25% of motherboards to the manufacturer before shipping because of
this :(  Some computers do go bad about a year later, eg. because of the
exploding capacitor problem that started a couple of years ago.
Computers nowadays are *really* badly made.  It's hard to believe until you
have a large sample size, but it's true.
Have fun,
Avery
P.S. On the other hand, at least you know e2fsck has been well tested. 
Nobody ever actually runs reiserfsck, which doesn't help its reliability.

I have to questions thank you for any answers in advance.
How do I compile latest 1.28 for SMP ( dual xeons I am dreaming to get )
Does anyone know of a good SATA raid controller that is known to work 
with vserver in any RH based distro for the main server?

Thank you again.

most likely it's a configuration issue inside the vserver

have you tried yet? and did you try with 'jsut' chrooting
