Parallels Cloud Server Configuration Files

The table below lists the configuration files available in Parallels Cloud Server 6.0. Most files are located in the /etc directory on a Parallels server. Some configuration files are stored on other servers (e.g., on a Backup Node). If a configuration file is stored in a place other than the Parallels server, its exact location is specified.

Name

/etc/vz/vz.conf

Global configuration file. This file keeps system-wide settings, such as the default location of templates and global network settings.

/etc/vz/conf/ <CT_ID> .conf

Private configuration file of a Container with the ID < CT_ID > . This file keeps Container-specific settings: resource management parameters, the location of its private area, IP address, and so on.

/etc/vz/conf/ve- <name> .conf-sample

Sample files containing a number of default Container configurations. Some pre-created samples file are shipped with Parallels Cloud Server (e.g., basic and confixx ), but you can also create your own samples to meet your demands.

/etc/vz/conf/dists/ <distribution_name> .conf

Linux distribution configuration files. These files define what scripts should be run when you perform specific operations with Containers (e.g., when you set a new IP address for a Container). The scripts differ from Parallels Cloud Server action scripts and depend on the Linux version a particular Container is running.

Note that the settings in this file do not apply to virtual machines.

/etc/vzpkgpoxy/vzpkgproxy.conf
