To use Parallels Virtual Automation, a Client Server should run one of the following Web
browsers:
• Internet Explorer 6.x and higher (Windows computers)
• Mozilla Firefox 2.x and higher (all platforms)
• Safari 3.x and higher (Mac computers)
Chances are that you will also be able to use other browsers, but Parallels Virtual
Automation has not been extensively tested with them.

standalone Master Server, consult the Readme for Parallels Virtual Automation available at

3. INSTALLING PARALLELS VIRTUOZZO CONTAINERS 4.7
Complete installation instructions on how to set up Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.7 on a
dedicated server is provided in the
Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.7 for Linux Installation
Guide
included in the current distribution.
When installing a Linux operating system on the server:
• Create three partitions on the hard drive:
* root (
/
): allocate 10-12 GB of disk space to the / partition.
* swap: allocate 2 times the size of the installed RAM if the RAM is less than or equal
to 2 GB; otherwise, allocate the size of the installed RAM plus 2 GB.
*
/vz
: format this partition as ext3 or ext4 and allocate all the remaining free space to
the /vz partition.
• Disable the firewall on the server.
Note: If you are going to split
/vz
among several disk partitions, keep in mind that the
Virtuozzo File System (VZFS) implementation requires
/vz/template
reside on a single
disk partition. It also requires the private area of a Container (
/vz/private/<CT_ID>
)
reside on a single disk partition.
Before installing the software on the server, make sure that the Parallels Virtuozzo
Containers 4.7 distribution is located on a persistent storage (for example, on a local file
system). This is needed to ensure the accessibility of the distribution after the system
reboot.
