What does the OFFLINE_MANAGEMENT ('Enable Offline Management') option mean?

To simplify the usage of Virtuozzo Power Panel by a VPS owner, the VZPP web
interface can be accessible on the VPS IP address. By default, port
4643 is used. If the VPS has an IP address 192.168.0.1 assigned, the
VZPP management interface is accessible by https://192.168.0.1:4643
even if the VPS is stopped. VZPP accessibility on a VPS IP address is
controlled by the OFFLINE_MANAGEMENT per-VPS configuration parameter. By
default, it is set to “yes”. To enable/disable it for VPS #101, use the
following

commands:



vzctl set 101 —offline_management=yes —save

vzctl set 101 —offline_management=no —save



Virtuozzo Power Panel has the following login mechanisms:



1) If the OFFLINE_MANAGEMENT parameter is set to “yes”, VZPP accepts the VPS
“root” login when connecting to VPS IP address, with the corresponding
password.

2) If OFFLINE_MANAGEMENT is enabled and the Plesk Control Panel is installed
in the VPS, logging into the VPS using the Plesk credentials (user admin with
corresponding password) is supported on the VPS IP address. In this
case, however, the management capabilities available via the web interface
are limited.

3) The Service VPS administrative credentials (user vzagent0 with
corresponding password) are supported as well. Upon administrative
login, all the VPSes on the Node are manageable.



When offline management is on for a VPS and that VPS has Plesk
installed, Plesk panel interface works via Service VPS (in other words,
port 8443 is forwarded to Service VPS). In this case some additional
Virtuozzo-related functionality is added to Plesk interface.
