Note :You must follow the instructions given below for building a node(Hardware Node) for deployment.This is same for both xen and openvz. If you have any difficulty in configuring your node, please contact us. We will build your node.

Hardware Requirements

You must need a good server for a live node, with lots of CPU and RAM. Also select high speed hard disk for better performance. Its DISK partition must be as follows 

/ = 10 GB
/vz = Big space for creating vps.
/backup = It must be 2x size of /vz for taking backups ( This partition is optional )

Remember use a second hard disk for /backup . Some operating systems will not use /vz as vps home folders. If so you may need to make soft links to /vz and /etc/vz/conf .

Software Requirements

We recommend to use Centos 5.x Operating system in your node. This will help you to configure bandwidth monitoring options easily. Sysvm supports any Linux operating system. Remember don't customize your /etc/bashrc . Some operating systems/datacenters have such customization which will prevent Openssh communication protocols.

Installation

Sysvm have an automatic setup node script this will help you to configure nodes easily. This is very import. You must download the following script and execute it. 

# wget http://download.sysvm.com/vcpanel/setupnode.tar.gz
# tar -xzf setupnode.tar.gz
# cd setupnode/
# ./install

Setup Openssh Public Key

This is very important to setup public key access from Sysvm to this node. Otherwise Sysvm not able to communicate with your server. 

# mkdir ~root/.ssh
# cd ~root/.ssh
# touch authorized_keys

Now copy your Sysvm public-key from the file /usr/local/vcpanel/key/id_rsa.pub of Sysvm master node to authorized_keys of your new node and save it. 

# chattr +ia authorized_keys

Add Node Inside Sysvm

Now go to Sysvm admin panel and add node from Node Management -> Add Node

Create IP Pool

For creating VPS inside this node you may need to register the IP pools. Go to Sysvm admin IP Management -> Add IP(s) to Node and add your IPS

Sync Plans ( Openvz only )

If this is an openvz node you need to sync openvz plans. Sync it from Sysvm control panel VPS Plans -> Sync Plan

Upload Templates

If you have any custom templates using for vps, then you need to upload your OS templates to /vz/template/cache folder , or you can sync it from Sysvm control panel.
