I believe that the errors encountered below when installing Plesk inside an OpenVZ Virtual Environment (VE) were encountered as a result of memory allocation issues.? Plesk recommends 256MB RAM minimum for 100 domains. However, I’ve found that this does not seem to be enough in a VE.
On the hardware node (HN), here is the critical issue when installing inside a 256MB VE.
# grep privvmpages /proc/user_beancounters
resource??????????? ? ? held? maxheld?? ?? barrier???? ?? limit?? ? failcnt
privvmpages?????? 40347????? 74138????? 65536????? 73228???????? 39
The fail count indicates a problem allocating memory during the plesk installation.? Obviously I’m misunderstanding something about these settings.? In any event, I’m starting over with 512MB RAM using the following settings.
vzctl set <veid> –save –privvmpages 131072:146456
vzctl set <veid> –save –vmguarpages 131072
vzctl set <veid> –save –oomguarpages 131072
vzctl set <veid> –save –shmpages 65536
?
Below are the vaious error messages encountered that brought me to implement the above settings.
