Managing Resources 122
Applying New Configuration Sample to Container
Parallels Server Bare Metal allows you to change the configuration sample file a Container is
based on and, thus, to modify all the resources the Container may consume and/or allocate at
once. For example, if Container 101 is currently based on the basic configuration sample and
you are planning to run the Plesk application inside the Container, you may wish to apply the
slm.plesk sample to it instead of basic, which will automatically adjust the necessary
Container resource parameters for running the Plesk application inside Container 101. To do
this, you can execute the following command on the server:
# pctl set 101 --applyconfig slm.plesk --save
Saved parameters for Container 101
This command reads the resource parameters from the ve-slm.plesk.conf-sample file
located in the /etc/vz/conf directory and applies them one by one to Container 101.
When applying new configuration samples to Containers, keep in mind the following:
 All Container sample files are located in the /etc/vz/conf directory on the server and
are named according to the following pattern: ve-<name>.conf-sample. You should
specify only the <name> part of the corresponding sample name after the --
applyconfig option (slm.plesk in the example above).
 The --applyconfig option applies all the parameters from the specified sample file to
the given Container, except for the OSTEMPLATE, TEMPLATES, VE_ROOT,
VE_PRIVATE, HOSTNAME, IP_ADDRESS, TEMPLATE, NETIF parameters (if they exist
in the sample file).
 You may need to restart your Container depending on the fact whether the changes for the
selected parameters can be set on the fly or not. If some parameters could not be configured
on the fly, you will be presented with the corresponding message informing you of this fact.
