remove plesk install from virtuozzo vzpp

admin — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:51:40 +0000

if you have cpanel on a virtuozzo node vps you really want to disable plesk install .

This cannot be done for selected VPSes, only for node-wide. In order to remove ‘Install Plesk’ link from the customer’s Parallels Power Panel, it is required to modify /vz/private/1/root/etc/vzcp/pp/menu.xml (on the node) file or /etc/vzcp/pp/menu.xml (in Service VPS).

There is an item looking like

item href=”$baseurl/panel/plesk” icon=”plesk” tip=”plesk_control_panel” cred=”plesk_use” svps=”deny”

Install Plesk

It should be completely removed and vzcp restarted:

# vzctl exec 1 /etc/init.d/vzcp restart

virtuozzo nfs backup

I had problems when using nfs storage to store virtuozzo backups . I don’t like to enable remote mount on startup time because network issues which could happen , and which can generate long startup delays.

so, if you mount nfs partition after node boots up, and virtuozzo already started you will not see backups in PIM or PMC.

finally received solution from parallels is:

> It should be sufficient to restart Virtuozzo Agent upon mounting NFS
> share:
> # vzagent_ctl restart

> However, for Virtuozzo 4.0 nodes it would be better to configure a
>    group of nodes using Infrastructure Manager and set a single node
>    to act as the backup node – then all information about backups will
>    be managed in a single PIM and will be common for all nodes.

plesk9 icons missing on VZPP

VZCP packages on the service VE (VE #1) should be upgraded to the latest available one, icons are provided since vzcp-3.0.0-16.10. It can be upgraded via vzup2date or vzsveupgrade.

It is also possible to copy icon files manually from any Plesk 9 VE (ex. 118) skins directories:

/vz/root/118/usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/skins/*/images/nav_home.gif

To corresponding service VE skins directories:

/vz/root/1/var/vzcp/static/vz/skins/*/icons/nav_home.gif

and so on for all missing icons.
