I got few inquiries as am beginning to finalize SCP along with Hyper-V, but I found few features missing or some ambiguities id like to understand, for example :-
- Exported VPS Path, i can't find such option allowing the user to Export his VPS, and can it be exported to whole different partition on the server?
- What are hosting add-ons and how to use them ??...
- in WHMCS i wish to add what is called Configurable Options, those are optional Upgrades such as RAM, Disk Partition Upgrades etc..., say a hosting package is only configured in SCP with 2 GB RAM, same as the hosting package on my website, but the client places an order for additional 2 GB RAM, can SCP figure this out somehow and provide 2 GB RAM extra for the client VM ?? or does it need to be handled manually ??
- Same scenario id like to give the user the option to chose either RAID0 or RAID10 partition, can SCP move him to a different partition somehow ??...
- How to provision Linux machines ?? Just add the template of linux fresh installation and then add username and network address manually ??
- re-install VM option not working ??.. and can the client have KVM/IPMI session to install his own OS from the ones i make available to him or not ??...
- Does Moving a VM between two servers running SCP and configured require both servers to be joined on a Domain or not ??...
Many Thanks !...
also will there ever be functionality to manage clients VM's and Auto provision them through WHMCS ??... I believe the current whmcs module has 0 support for Hyper-V 2012 r2 ??...
Thank you,
Am seeking clarification please regarding whmcs module if it will ever have support to autoprovision vms or not??
And, if u can explain what are hosting addons and whether they cam be used with hyperv service or not??...
Hey,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
You can export when it is deleted. You can set the folder in the Hyper-V provider.
Hosted add-ons are extra resources that can be added after the fact. Say if somebody purchased a extra 10GB ram.
You should be using Add-ons for a extra 2GB ram.
SolidCP is not able to place a VM based on the Raid level of the drive.
Currently it is not possible to make Linux VMs inside SolidCP. You can make a blank vhd with sysprep file but it has to be installed manually.
How is reinstall not working? Currently the KVM access to the VM doesn't work we do have it on the list to be fixed but currently no date set against it.
I believe you do need to have AD for the server migration.
Kind Regards,
Trevor Robinson
Thank you Trevor, your comments are at most valued !...
I was unable to find the Re-Install VPS Option when logged in as the user, although it was added during the creation of his VPS, I could only find reset, and that doesn't work either:(
The only options working for the user are: Start, Pause, Reboot, Shutdown, Snapshot, etc...
Also any ETA when will WHMCS support VPS management functions and if you can do a custom WHMCS module for this purpose ?...
Cheers,
Sam
