Containers can be created in one of the following ways:
To create a new Container:
In case of automatic assignment, the Parallels Business Automation - Standard automatically checks the following:
- less loaded Hardware Node will be selected (by weighted assessment);
- total number of unused licenses for selected Container class on the selected Hardware Node will be checked. If no unused licenses will be detected, then the next from less loaded Hardware Node will be checked;
- if there are no Hardware Nodes with the needed Container Class licenses, then the Parallels Business Automation - Standard will create a new Container on the less loaded Hardware Node and notify a Provider Administrator about exceeding the allowable number of Container Class Licenses;
In case of manual assignment of the new Container to a Hardware Node, the Provider Administrator can select one of the Hardware Nodes himself (or herself). Thus, the Parallels Business Automation - Standard automatically checks the following:
- Hardware Node resources will be checked. In the case if a Hardware Node is loaded and cannot provide the required resources, then Container registration will be blocked with appropriate status message displayed.
- Container Class Licenses number will be checked. In the case if no unused Licenses detected, the Parallels Business Automation - Standard system will create new Container and notify a Provider Administrator about exceeding the allowable number of Container Class Licenses
If you do not see some of the Applications (that were installed as you can recall), please, check the following:
(i) Whether the OS template defined in the hosting plan selected for this Container is compatible with the missing Applications. Note that Parallels Business Automation - Standard Control Panels and the most of the other applications are not available for SuSe or Debian Containers. For such Containers only the Parallels Power Panel and SSH are available.
(ii) Whether the default prices were set for all Applications installed. All Applications used in custom Containers must have the preset default prices since these prices are used for Customer Account Balance recalculation in case of Container upgrade. Though, if an Application was installed without setting the default prices, you can do this in Product Manager Settings.
