The
Offline Services
subtab available on clicking the
Network
tab on the corresponding Hardware Node dashboard allows you to configure the offline services parameters that will be applied to all Containers on your Node. Offline services ensure the manageability of your Containers from any browser at their IP addresses. By default, the
vzpp
service (for managing Containers by means of Parallels Power Panel) and the
vzpp-plesk
service (for managing Containers by means of the Plesk control panel integrated with Parallels Power Panel) are enabled for all Containers on the Node, which means that you can start using these offline services for managing Containers right after their creation. All offline services currently available on your Hardware Node are listed in the
Offline Services
table:
Column Name |
Description |
Name |
The name of the service. |
Destination Container ID |
The ID of the destination Container where the requests to/from Containers are redirected. Currently, any Container requests can be redirected thru Container 1 (i.e. thru the Service Container) only. |
Redirected Port |
The port number inside the Service Container where the requests to/from Containers are redirected. |
Global |
Shows if the service is enabled or disabled globally. |
By default, 20 services are shown on the screen, but you may have more services displayed by pressing the appropriate link on top of the table. You may also have the Offline Services table display only those services that have a particular name or conform to some other criteria. On top of the table, press the Show Search link to display the fields where you can specify the name or any other parameters of the service you wish to view; then click on the Search link. To view all the services, click on the Reset Results link to the right of the Search link.
You can have Parallels Infrastructure Manager display only those parameters you need at the moment. To show or hide certain columns, click the Select Columns link and select the parameters you want to be displayed or clear those you do not.
Note: Before you can start managing your Containers using certain offline services, make sure that the offline management is globally enabled on the Hardware Node. Detailed information on how to globally enable/disable the offline management is provided in the Configuring Offline Management Parameters section of the Parallels Management Console Help.
On the Offline Services subtab, you can manage your offline services as follows:
