How I migrated from HyperVM to VDSmanager
I was able to successfully migrate all my hypervm nodes to VDSmanager without any data loss. Here are the steps I took.
NOTE: I was running an up to date version of CentOS 5.3 x86_64 on all my nodes. I cannot guarantee this will work for you. Be sure and make a backup before doing this. I also licensed all my servers for VDSmanager before starting
Step 1. (Shut down HyperVM and remove it from the sytem)
# service hypervm stop
# rm -rf /usr/local/lxlabs/
# rpm -e lxphp lxzend lxlighttpd
*if your old vps configs had proper hostnames skip to step 3.
Step 2. (Fix hostname in VPS configs)
Note: HyperVM let you have VPS containers with incomplete hostnames such as "server" instead of "server.com". This will cause VDSmanager to give an error when you try to view the running VDS's. After fixing this my virtual servers started showing up on the main page list before that it just gave an error.
# cd /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/
# ls -l ( You should see all your VPS configs ending in .conf)
Open each one in your favorite text editor and make sure the line HOSTNAME="hostname" is a complete hostname
Example:
HOSTNAME="hostname" > WILL NOT WORK
HOSTNAME="hostname.local" > WILL WORK
Step 3. (Install VDSmanager)
# wget "http://download.ispsystem.com/install.sh"
# sh install.sh
NOTE: During the installation I chose to install the minimum. This worked for me but I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone. I have not tried installing it with the other options.
When it is done it will ask you to reboot go ahead and do so now.
Step 4. (Log into VDSmanager)
In a web browser go to this site
https://hostname-or-ip/manager/vdsmgr
Hopefully you will be able to log in and view all your running VPS containers.
After doing this on all my servers I added the old slave servers as a slave on my main VPS node and can now view all my clients from the main screen.
Good Luck and hope this helpsJoe Morgan @ Joe’s Datacenter, LLC- www.joesdatacenter.com

How secure is VDSManager? Does anyone know? I thought the last update was in 2008?
Thanks for the tutorial though.Senior Network Architect

thanks for the clarification - thought we had picked it up totally wrong for a minute! So far we havent been able to import any openvz on the server into the vdsmanager install. It simply doesnt see them, hostnames etc are all correct...

no error messages in the log (after using killall etc). It had about 15 openvz vps already running on it - which are stil running but not showing.
Its a 64 bit centos which *should* be fine, but for some reason simply doesnt see them .

I heard some bad things about the IP manager in VDSmanager.. what exactly is the bad thing about it?
Are current users migrated from hypervm able to login to vdsmanager panel by username as their VPS IP and password as their root password?

Security implications of VDSManager
Thanks for an excellent tutorial. I am concerned though with one thing using VDSManager.
With VDSManager you HAVE to install it on a server with a Public IP Address. For some this opens up a whole can of worms when you are required under compliance such as PCI-DSS2 to segment your networks etc.
Like many other companies that take security seriously - there is no way that I am going to install any Billing or central management tool on a public IP address and prefer to use NAT to segment my network and ultimately interface with in via an API.
How did you get around this as not even having the option to install on a Private IP is a major limitation.
Regards
DigitalP

This unfortunalrey didn't go as expected for Xen..I renamed all the domU's to name.com or .net -> But i'm having the same problem as the other person. VDSmanager is simply not seeing the domU's.
@ispsystem, Would moving the cfg's from /home/xen to /xen/domains/ fix this? I was going to try but didn't want to risk any domains crashing.
