Notes to VM

A virtual machine (VM) created on the VMmanager platform is called a virtual server on the BILLmanager platform. These terms are used interchangeably in the article.

VMmanager 6 allows you to add a note for a virtual machine (VM). A note is arbitrary text that you can specify. It does not affect the VM's operation but helps to:

  • specify the purpose. For example, "Testing a capability — do not delete until 31/12";
  • leave a contact. For example, "Responsible person is Alice, email: example@example.com";
  • record a status. For example, "Do not reboot without approval", etc.

Notes for VMs:

  • are synchronized with VMmanager 6. If you add a note in BILLmanager, it will automatically appear in the VM settings in VMmanager;
  • can be added or edited for one or several VMs at once;
  • are saved in the VM history along with all changes.

How to add a note

To add a note to a VM:

  1. Go to Products/Services → Virtual private servers → select one or several virtual servers → Edit.
  2. In the Main settings block, fill in the Note field.
  3. Click Ok to save the changes.

Configuring note parameters

To manage note parameters for VMs, go to the Products → Product types → Virtual server → Parameters button. Click the Edit button. The following values are set by default:

  • Internal name — comment;
  • Show during order — the parameter is inactive. Activate the option to allow the client to specify the parameter value on the service order page;
  • Read permissions and Edit permissions — client. Set the minimum user level for whom reading and editing the parameter is available:
    • client;
    • employee;
    • superuser;
  • Input field type — String field.

For more details on configuring the remaining parameters, see the article Product type parameters.
