Operations on Virtual Private Servers
34
In principle, now you are ready to start your newly created Virtual Private Server. However,
typically you need to set its network IP address, host name, DNS server address and
root
password before starting the Virtual Private Server for the first time. Please see the next
subsection for information on how to perform these tasks.
Configuring Virtual Private Server
Configuring a Virtual Private Server consists of several tasks:
Setting Virtual Private Server startup parameters;
Setting Virtual Private Server network parameters;
Setting Virtual Private Server user passwords;
Configuring Quality of Service (Service Level) parameters.
For all these tasks, the
vzctl set
command is used. Using this command for setting VPS
startup parameters, network parameters, and user passwords is explained later in this subsection.
Service Level Management configuration topics are dwelled upon in the
Managing Resources
chapter.
Setting Startup Parameters
The following options of the
vzctl set
command define the VPS startup parameters:
onboot
and
capability
. To make the Virtual Private Server 101 automatically boot at
Hardware Node startup, issue the following command:
# vzctl set 101 --onboot yes --save
