Installing Parallels Business Automation - Standard in Parallels Virtuozzo Containers Container

If you use the Parallels Virtuozzo Containers servers at your Data Center, you can successfully install Parallels Business Automation - Standard in one of Virtuozzo Containers. In this guide, we describe the installation only in general.

Note: Please, refer to the Parallels Virtuozzo Containers user documentation for detailed information about any aspects connected with Parallels Virtuozzo Containers installation and Containers creation.

During installation, the Parallels Business Automation - Standard installer attempts to enable firewall for a Container you are installing Parallels Business Automation - Standard on. Any previous firewall configurations are rewritten. The default firewall configuration allows connection for the following ports only: SSH, POP3(S), HTTP(S), SMTP, BIND. To successfully enable firewall, the installer needs the iptable_filter and ipt_state modules loaded.

The needed iptables modules will be loaded to Containers only in case they are also loaded on a server that hosts a Container.

To load the needed iptables modules the vzctl command can be used. Loading a new set of iptables modules does not happen on the fly. You should restart the Container for the changes to take effect.

To install Parallels Business Automation - Standard in Virtuozzo Container:

  1. Install OS on the server (Hardware Node) intended to run Parallels Virtuozzo Containers.
  2. Install Parallels Virtuozzo Containers on the Hardware Node as this described in the corresponding Parallels Virtuozzo Containers user documentation.
  3. Create Virtuozzo Container where you will install Parallels Business Automation - Standard. The configuration file that defines all the parameters for such Container is included in the Parallels Business Automation - Standard tarball. Please do not forget to set the root password, IP address, and hostname for the Management Node Container.

    Note 1: You can select any numerical identifier for the Management Node Container. However, we recommend to select the ID within the so-called "service" range from 10 up to 99 (better 99 and lower) to avoid unintentional corruption of Management Node Container from Parallels Business Automation - Standard tools, since Containers with IDs within the service range are not visible from the Parallels Business Automation - Standard web-based interface.

    Note 2: After you select the Management Container ID, please do not forget to rename the configuration file shipped with Parallels Business Automation - Standard into the VE_ID.conf where the VE_ID should be replaced with the actual numerical ID of the Management Node Container.

  4. Upload the Parallels Business Automation - Standard tarball in the Management Node Container.
  5. Run the Parallels Business Automation - Standard installer as this described earlier in this guide.
