Yes you can leave it without, but in this case if you defined it in
the old vserver you would have to change it in the new vserver.

Also, I do not know if this is really the case, but I felt that having
fixed context IDs is much more stable than having dynamic ones.



more important, dynamic contexts are deprecated for
some time now (as they cause nothing but troubles)
and will go away in the (near) future ...

so please, handle the context assignment in userspace
by either assigning them explicitely or extending
the tools to handle that properly

  


how do you set the context ID ?

1) from the beginning : my newvserver command (from Debian
vserver-debiantools) does not have any --cid option

2) afterwards : I tried to echo a reasonable 5-figures number into 
/etc/vservers/myvs/context, but now if I try to start it:

--%

# vserver myvs start
chbind: vc_net_create(): Invalid argument

An error occured while executing the vserver startup sequence; when
there are no other messages, it is very likely that the init-script
(/etc/init.d/rc 3) failed.

Common causes are:
* /etc/rc.d/rc on Fedora Core 1 and RH9 fails always; the 'apt-rpm' build
  method knows how to deal with this, but on existing installations,
  appending 'true' to this file will help.


best,
Herbert

[Vserver] Cloning a vserver

2006-06-27 Thread Odile Bénassy
Hello,

I hope not to disturb with a low-level question, I still hope will be
useful to others.

I'm very happy with my vservers in general, I must say, and the users
too, of course.

I want to copy a vserver into a second one, because the second one will
run the same software.

So I had an IP .xxx and a name old

And I want a new IP .yyy and a new name new

1) I copied all the /vservers/old to /vservers/new

2) I copied all the /etc/vservers/old to /etc/vservers/new and also
/etc/vservers/old.conf to /etc/vservers/new.conf

3) I went into /etc/vservers/new.conf, into /etc/vservers/new, into
/vservers/new/etc and change there every string .xxx into .yyy, and
old into new

4) I fixed the /etc/vservers/new symlink

Now both vservers can start and stop. I can ping both IPs.

But if I enter new I am in old.

What do I have left behind?

 Hi Odile,

 you might have missed out on the vserver hostname.
 You should specify new in /etc/vservers/new/uts/nodename

 All the rest seems fine to me but I might also be missing something
 obvious,

 Good luck to you,

 Youri

Thanks, it works!!

[Vserver] Vservers and RAID (5 hard)

2006-02-14 Thread Odile Bénassy
Hello,Jacques, hello all!

I have set up a few vservers for hosting different web sites on the same
machine and keep a separate control of each, and so far I'm happy, thanks!

Time comes to get it running for the public, and as the server has a
RAID controler (it is Dell's Megaraid), I'm about to get a few disks
ordered.

The normal setup would be : 2 * 36 Go for the system, 3 * 73 or 4 * 73
for the data. Meaning the contents of /var, with the vservers in it.

So I would welcome any advice about what to purchase and how to use the
disks, especially if there is some verser peculiarities.

Thanks in advance,
