Hi all,

what is HyperVm, how to setup, is it free?

[zoemadeleine]

HyperVM is virtualization technology with multiple characteristics, like multi-tiered, multi-server, multi-virtualization platform which allows a VPS hosting service provider a condition to manage and delegate OpenVZ based virtual private servers.

Yes it is free,its unique user-interface, VPS server based features and functionality, and low cost HyperVM becomes the most suitable
solution for anyone who would like to use a virtual private server environment to host their web applications.

Set up of HyperVM
-----------------------------------------------
Important: Make sure that you open the ports 8888 and 8887 in the firewall. Otherwise you won’t be able to connect to HyperVM.

You have to disable selinux by editing /etc/sysconfig/selinux and changing the line to selinux=disabled and then running
# setenforce 0

You need to be at the latest release of your OS.
# yum update –y


HyperVM installation consists of downloading either the hypervm-install-master.sh or hypervm-install-slave.sh . and execute it as root.

Commands:

# setenforce 0
# wget http://download.lxcenter.org/download/h ... -master.sh
# sh ./hypervm-install-master.sh --virtualization-type=xen/openvz/NONE

You have to clearly specify which virtualization type you want using the option --virtualization-type as either:
xen
openvz
NONE

If you want to install hypervm on an existing system, just use virtualization-type=NONE, which will install just hyperVM components, and skip the virtualization components entirely.

HyperVM will currently install the openVZ/Xen kernel, but will not switch the default kernel to it. You will have to manually edit the /etc/grub.conf, and change the default=1 to default=0, and reboot the machine.

For setup hypervm the 8887 & 8888 ports should be open for outbound connections .

Adding a HyperVM Server

1. Go to Configuration > Servers
2. Click on Add New Server
3. Enter the master server name, IP address, select the server type "Hypervm" from the dropdown menu, and enter your HyperVM username & password
4. Click on Create Server to complete this process

Now HyperVM server is configured in WHMCS. Now we can move on to create our first HyperVM Package.

Setting up a HyperVM Package

Perform the following steps to create a HyperVM Package in WHMCS :

1. Go to Setup > Products/Services > Products/Services
2. Click Create a New Product and then enter the name for your new package
3. Set the product type to "Other" and untick the Show Domain Options tick box
4. Configure the pricing, welcome email, and other configuration options as normal
5. Next, go to the Module Settings tab of the product config
6. Select Hypervm in the Module Type dropdown menu
7. The page will refresh with the options for a HyperVM package
8. In the Type field, you need to enter the type of server this package is for - it will be either "openvz" or "xen"
9. In the Plan Name field, you need to enter the plan name as it appears listed in the dropdown in HyperVM when you are creating a new server eg. "sample1"
10. In the OS Template field, again, you need to enter it exactly as it appears in the dropdown menu when adding a new server in HyperVM, eg. "centos-4-i386-hostinabox23"
11. In the Server box you need to enter the hostname of the slave server on which it will be set up. If you have only 1 HyperVM server this is 'localhost'.
12. Finally you need to select the number of IPs to allocate to it.
13. The last step is to setup a custom field on the custom fields tab called "Username" which is set to show on the order form and be required so users can enter their desired username when placing their order
14. The last updated on HyperVM module now support the passing of a hostname via a custom field "Hostname"

That's it! HyperVM Package is now configured and ready for use.

Microsoft's hardware virtualization product is called Hyper-V. It allows you to create and run a virtual machine, which is a software version of a computer. Each virtual machine functions as a full computer, with its own operating system and software.
