ISPConfig3 VServer containers only support UBC memory configuration right now (2015), this article implements a workaround using a vzctl action script to support VSwap instead.
vps.premount
The more I work with ISPConfig's VServer, the more I find workarounds needed in the config that is generated. This article utilizes a /etc/vz/conf/vps.premount script that builds on one used in this article about setting up vzfirewall with ISPConfig.
More specifically, this script will convert the container config files using the commands in Openvz VSwap aritcle, and then append an "addon" file to the end (either container specific or a default).
mkdir /etc/vz/conf/addon cat > /etc/vz/conf/vps.premount <<'EOF' #!/bin/bash # # vps.premount # # Sanity check the environment [ -z "${VEID}" ] && exit 1 [ -z "${VE_CONFFILE}" ] && exit 1 # Source VPS configuration files in the same order as vzctl [ -f /etc/vz/vz.conf ] || exit 1 [ -f ${VE_CONFFILE} ] || exit 1 . /etc/vz/vz.conf . ${VE_CONFFILE} if [ -d /etc/vz/conf/addon ]; then cd /etc/vz/conf/addon # NETFILTER= in .netfilter if ! grep -q ^NETFILTER= ${VE_CONFFILE}; then if [ -f ${VEID}.netfilter ]; then cat ${VEID}.netfilter >> ${VE_CONFFILE} elif [ -f default.netfilter ]; then cat default.netfilter >> ${VE_CONFFILE} fi fi # #FIREWALL= in .firewall if ! grep -q ^\#FIREWALL= ${VE_CONFFILE}; then if [ -f ${VEID}.firewall ]; then cat ${VEID}.firewall >> ${VE_CONFFILE} elif [ -f default.firewall ]; then cat default.firewall >> ${VE_CONFFILE} fi fi # vSwap in .vswap if ! vzlist -o vswap ${VEID} | grep -q yes; then # see http://openvz.org/VSwap#Convert_non-VSwap_CT_to_VSwap cp ${VE_CONFFILE} ${VE_CONFFILE}.pre-vswap grep -Ev '^(KMEMSIZE|LOCKEDPAGES|PRIVVMPAGES|SHMPAGES|NUMPROC|PHYSPAGES|VMGUARPAGES|OOMGUARPAGES|NUMTCPSOCK|NUMFLOCK|NUMPTY|NUMSIGINFO|TCPSNDBUF|TCPRCVBUF|OTHERSOCKBUF|DGRAMRCVBUF|NUMOTHERSOCK|DCACHESIZE|NUMFILE|AVNUMPROC|NUMIPTENT|ORIGIN_SAMPLE|SWAPPAGES)=' > ${VE_CONFFILE} < ${VE_CONFFILE}.pre-vswap if [ -f ${VEID}.vswap ]; then cat ${VEID}.vswap >> ${VE_CONFFILE} elif [ -f default.vswap ]; then cat default.vswap >> ${VE_CONFFILE} else egrep '^PHYSPAGES|^SWAPPAGES' ${VE_CONFFILE}.pre-vswap >> ${VE_CONFFILE} fi fi fi if type -p vzfirewall > /dev/null; then # Test vzfirewall config for errors before running if vzfirewall -t > /dev/null 2>&1; then vzfirewall -a > /dev/null 2>&1 fi fi exit 0 EOF
Then create .vswap files with PHYSPAGES and SWAPPAGES values. Eg. to set container 105 to use 1G ram and swap, and default all others to 512M ram and swap:
cat > /etc/vz/conf/addon/105.vswap <<'EOF' PHYSPAGES="0:262144" SWAPPAGES="0:262144" EOF cat > /etc/vz/conf/addon/default.vswap <<'EOF' PHYSPAGES="0:131072" SWAPPAGES="0:131072" EOF
This script cannot check for errors at runtime, as it runs after the container memory parameters have been read by vzctl. An implication of that is you must restart the container twice for the VSwap memory changes to be effective (the first time the changes are made to the config file, the second time the container restarts using those changes).
If the container doesn't start right, just copy back the .pre-vswap file and rename the vps.premount, then manually troubleshoot/fix.
