14. Module configuration is partially non-mandatory. The server will be assigned basing on the defined configuration and matching only the filled out options.

Default Options:

  • Model (required) - EasyDCIM server model
  • Location (required) - desired server location
  • OS Template - reinstall server with a chosen OS template before delivering it to client
  • Monthly Traffic Limit - bandwidth limit per server
  • Additional IP Addresses - number of additional IP addresses assigned to a server
  • HDD/SSD/RAM Size - required amount of memory in specific parts, note 1GB is equal to 1024 MB
  • CPU cores - number of CPU cores

Product Configuration

  • Auto Accept - automatically run server matching, server will be provisioned in a few moments
  • Require PDU - provisioned server must be connected to a PDU device
  • Require Switch - provisioned server must be connected to a Switch device
  • Debug Mode - use only if you are troubleshooting

Item Model
Basically, define if a chosen part has to be of a specific model, for example match server using `Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5` CPU.
Client Area Features
Define elements available to your client in your WHMCS client area.

ED 14.png
15. Now, optionally you can generate default configurable options to allow orders tailored to your clients needs.

We recommend viewing and modifying them to fit your provisioning capabilities. You can find them under 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Configurable Options'.
Note: Any configurable option will overwrite its counterpart from product 'Module Settings'.

Management

In this section we will show you all the possibilities of EasyDCIM For WHMCS.

Our module allows you to offer EasyDCIM via your WHMCS system.

Admin Area

As soon as you set up a server for a client, you can request various actions and view server details from WHMCS admin area.

'Change Password' action changes SSH access details to the client's server while 'Update Order Information' allows you to manually check if server matching order has been found and assigned.

ED 16.png
Our module allows you to boot/reboot/shutdown server as well as view its details.
ED 17.png
Below them, there are various usage graphs are available at your disposal.
ED 18.png

Client Area

In the client area of the module your customers can view all details concerning their servers as well as manage the status.
ED 19.png
Additionally, below you can find numerous usage graphs.
ED 20.png
You can also view information about traffic billing.

As well as reinstall OS on your server.

Tips

1. Note that two identical orders may result in assigning server with slightly different parameters.

It is the result of the way EasyDCIM server matching works. It matches a server basing on the resources and models mentioned in the order, without considering other resources.
While it attempts to find a server matching the order completely, in case it fails, server fulfilling more requirements than others will be assigned.
More information about server provisioning flow can be found on EasyDCIM documentation page.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
