This section explains what configuration parameters Parallels Server Bare Metal 5.0 has and how they affect the product behavior.
There are a number of files responsible for the Parallels Server Bare Metal system configuration. Most of the files are located in the
/etc
directory on the Parallels server. However, some configuration files are stored on the Backup Node, in a Container, or on a dedicated server. If a configuration file is located in a place other than the Parallels server, we point clearly the exact position where it can be found.
/etc/vz/vz.conf

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

. The file keeps Container specific settings – its resource management parameters, location of private area, IP address, and so on.

/etc/vz/conf/ve-<
