Automatically send email when someone login server as ROOT

E-mail Alert on Root SSH Login 

1.  Login to the server via SSH using root
2.  cd /root
3.  vi .bash_profile
4.  At the end of the file add the following line:

echo 'ALERT - Root Shell Access (YourserverName) on:' `date` `who` | mail -s "Alert: Root Access from `who | cut -d"(" -f2 | cut -d")" -f1`" you@yourdomain.com

(or)

1. Login to your linux using root user.
2. go to /root directory by typing cd /root command.
3. open .bashrc file for editing. You can do this by command vi .bashrc
4. Scroll to the end of the file add add following line and same the file and log out to your ssh panel.

echo 'ALERT - Root Shell Access (servername) on:' `date` `who` | mail -s "Alert: Root Access"  email@domain.com
Replace servername by your name of server. Replace email@domain.com by your email on which you want to receive the email alert.Once you will login back to your server using root user. You will receive an email.
It sends you the email alert when somebody login through root because when you login to your root user via ssh by default batch file .bashrc get executed. So every time the file .bashrc get executed you will received an alert.

Openvz VPS Manual Migration

 

1. Stop the VPS on the old server

vzctl stop CTID

2. Copy the private area and the configuration file to the new server.

rsync -avz -e ssh /vz/private/CTID/ root@NEWSERVERIP:/vz/private/CTID/

rsync -avz -e ssh /etc/vz/conf/104.conf root@NEWSERVERIP:/etc/vz/conf

3. Start the VPS on the old server

vzctl start CTID

4. Update the SolusVM database, so the VPS appears on the new server. Run this command on the SolusVM Master.

/scripts/vm-migrate VPSID(old vps id) NODEID    (I think new node&vps  details)

VPSID = The number in the ID column next to the VPS in SolusVM. This is NOT the CID/XID.

NODEID = The number in the ID column next to the Node in SolusVM under Nodes > List

5. Give the VPS a new IP Address

Find the VPS in SolusVM and go to "IP Addresses". Add a new IP address from the list, then click on "Main IP" and make it the main IP Address. Then

remove all of the old IP Addresses under "IP Addresses"

6. Start the VPS on the new server

vzctl start CTID

Proxmox to solus migration:

Please follow the below steps for Proxmox to solus migration:

Step 1 :   Login to Proxmox server

Step 2 :   Identify the server need to migrate using below command

                  "qm list" 

Step 3:   Stop the VM

                   "qm shutdown VMID"

Step 4:   Path of image of VPS is 

                   "/var/lib/vz/images/VMID"

Step 5: To list the files.

                    "ls -l"

Step 6: Create a VPS in solus with no template. Please make sure the HDD space is larger than raw file. In the config file (usually under /home/kvm/kvmID), check the following line:

<source file=’/dev/VG_NAME/kvmID_img’/>

and make a note;

Step 7: If file is in raw copy the file to solus (stop the VPS KVMID)

dd if=filename.raw | ssh root@nodeIP ‘dd of=/dev/VG_NAME/kvmID_img’

Example:

root@CORE11:/var/lib/vz/images# dd if=102.raw | ssh root@IPaddress 'dd of=/dev/vg_e52670v3/kvm312_img'

Step 8: If the files is in qcow2 please use below command to convert to raw file.

EG: qemu-img convert vm-102-disk-1_kvm.qcow2 -O raw 102.raw

dd if=141bak.raw | ssh root@IPaddress 'dd of=/dev/vg_e52670v3/kvm313_img'

dd if=vm-104-disk-1_bak.raw | ssh root@IPaddress 'dd of=/dev/vg_e52670v3/kvm314_img'

VMware ESXI to SolusVM Migration

In this blog I have add the procedure to migrate a VMware ESXi vm to Solusvm KVM vps. Just follow the below steps.

Step 1: Find vmdk file in the Vmware server.

You can use below command
 

find / -name "*.vmdk"

Step 2: Stop the vm on Vmware panel.

Step 3: Get .vmdk file to destination server where you want to migrate that vm.

You can use the below command to get the .vmdk file to destination server. Run below command on destination server.

 scp -P XX root@vmwareip:/myserver/sourcefile.vmdk /destination/

Step 4: Convert to .vmdk to .img on destination.

qemu-img convert File-flat.vmdk -O raw File-flat.img

Step 5: Create a KVM VPS with disk space greater then or equal to the size of .vmdk file size and select no template and no iso when creating VPS.

Step 6: Once vps is booted up stop the VPS. Then run the below command to restore the img file to the lvm of the corresponding VPS.
 

dd if=File-flat.img of=/dev/YourVolumeGroupName/kvmid_img

Step 7: Once done boot the vps.

CUSTOMPHP

For each customer, inside CageFS, file alt_php.ini is located in /etc/cl.php.d/alt-phpXX (XX - version of PHP, like 52 or 53). The file contains PHP extension settings and extension directives selected by customer. This file exists for each customer, for each PHP version.

Note, that this is 'local' to CageFS, and different users will have different files. The file is not visible in /etc/cl.php.d outside CageFS. If you would like to view that file, use:

# cagefsctl -e USERNAME 

to enter into CageFS for that user. Then type: exit; to exit from CageFS

This file has to be updated using cagefsctl --rebuild-alt-php-ini after updating alt-php RPMs

Admin can change individual settings for PHP extensions by changing that extension's ini file, like editing /opt/alt/php54/etc/php.d.all/eaccelerator.ini and then running:

cagefsctl --rebuild-alt-php-ini

to propagate the change.
