Virtuozzo : Failure to Start VPS

[eUKShane]

An attempt to start a Virtual Private Server fails.

Solution 1

If there is a message on the system console: parameters missing, and the list of missed parameters follows the message, set these parameters using the vzctl set --save command. Try to start the VPS Hosting once again.

Solution 2

If there is a message on the system console: IP address is already used, issue the cat /proc/vz/veinfo command. The information about the VPS Hosting numeric identifier, VPS Hosting class, number of VPS Hosting’s processes and VPS Hosting IP address shall be displayed for each running VPS Hosting. This shall also demonstrate that your VPS Hosting is up, i.e. it must be running without any IP address assigned. Set its IP address using the command:

vzctl set ve_id --ipadd addr --save

where ve_id represents the VPS Hosting numeric identifier and addr represents an actual IP address.

Solution 3

Poor UBC parameters might prevent the VPS Hosting from starting. Try to validate the VPS Hosting configuration. See what configuration parameters have caused the error and set appropriate values using the vzctl set --save command.

Solution 4

The VPS Hosting might have used all its disk quota (either disk space or disk inodes). Check the VPS Hosting disk quota and increase the quota parameters if needed.

Solution 5

Run the vzfsutil utility to make sure that the vzfs symlinks inside the VPS Hosting work correctly.

For example:

vzfsutil --call –t /vz/template /vz/private/<VPS Hosting_ID>

Solution 6

The VPS Hosting administrator might have inadvertently modified, replaced, or deleted any file that is part of an application or OS template, which has brought about the VPS Hosting malfunction. In this case, restore the file(s) with the vzctl recover command.

Solution 7

Restore the latest operable copy of the VPS Hosting by means of the vzrestore utility.
