Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sibprogrammer/owp/issues/29

• OpenVZ Web Panel 2.4
• 1007 freshly created

$ grep PHYSPAGES /etc/vz/conf/1007.conf

PHYSPAGES="0:256M"

• 1006 settings edited by OWP

$ grep PHYSPAGES /etc/vz/conf/1006.conf

PHYSPAGES="0:262144"

• after Synchronization panel shows for RAM column:

1006 - unlimited

1007 - 256

• If I change setting with OWP, panel render latest value, but after sync button becomes unlimited

Thanks

Hi,

Need some help here.

This also happened to me (OpenVZ Web Panel 2.4).

When I tried to change the vm settings (in this case changing the Server Template), this error happened:

I've also tried this fix github.com/sibprogrammer/owp@0acd1bf979 but still doesn't work.

Tried to create a new vm, it displays the correct RAM setting, but then after couple of minutes it turned into unlimited.

Thank you.

• After digging into the log:

~# tail -f /opt/ovz-web-panel/log/production.log

• I suspect these lines of codes that causing the problem, but I could be wrong :

https://github.com/sibprogrammer/owp/blob/master/app/models/virtual_server.rb#L144-L152

  if memory_changed?
    if vswap and vswap > 0 and hardware_server.vswap
      vzctl_set("--ram #{shellescape(memory.to_s)}M --save")
    else
      privvmpages = 0 == memory.to_i ? 'unlimited' : memory.to_i * 1024 / 4
      vzctl_set("--privvmpages #{shellescape(privvmpages.to_s)} --save")
      vzctl_set("--physpages unlimited --save")
    end
  end

Waiting for your confirmation.
Thanks.

@phlegx unfortunately no..

I decided to move to Proxmox 3.4, which also supported OpenVZ, but I had to manually recreated the VMs and then migrate/transfer my data and settings because Proxmox 3.4 doesn't seem compatible with VMs that created using openvz-web-panel.

Currently, I use Proxmox 4.0, which replaced OpenVZ with LXC, and it's easy to transfer/convert from OpenVZ in Proxmox 3.4 to LXCin Proxmox 4.0.
