A VPS is locked when some operation (backup, migration, start / stop, etc.) with that VPS is in progress. You can determine which process is holding VPS #101 using the following command on the hardware node:

cat /vz/lock/101.lck

You can kill that process if needed, but make sure that the process is really killed. If there is no process with that PID on the node, just remove the lockfile.

If you come across this error when trying to do a “yum update” on your Virtuozzo Virtual Dedicated Server

–> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.25 for package: glibc-dummy-centos-4–> Finished Dependency ResolutionError: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.25 is needed by package glibc-dummy-centos-4

You can make use of the following steps to fix the problem. First you need to remove the package that is causing the problem.

yum remove glibc-dummy-centos-4

After you have removed that package you need to reinstall gcc with all the extras. You can do that simply by running the following command.

yum install gcc & yum install gcc*

If everything installed correctly you should now be able to run a yum update and it should not error out at all.

 What is SLM, “Virtuozzo Service Level Management (SLM) is a system that maintains and allows administrators to configure and control the levels of service (i.e., the set of ‘promises’) provided to VPS owners.”I came across some different ways of enabling SLM on the Virtuozzo Node, by far the best was the information about how to enable it with out a Node reboot. run the following commands. Edit the following files and make said changes

/etc/sysconfig/vz and change the SLM entry to slm=yes/etc/sysconfig/vzagent/vzagent.conf Locate the SLM entry, change it to 1. 

After you modified configuration file you need to restart VZAgent, use the following command on a hardware node:

vzagent_ctl restart 

Problem:
cPanel installs a little bit differently in a VPS that it does on your traditional server.

Solution:
Install cPanel in CentOS / Fedora VPS:

You will need yum installed on the VPS

cat /etc/redhat-release

rpm -q yum centos-yumconf
