Installation and Configuration

This tutorial will show you how to successfully install and configure EasyDCIM Colocation For WHMCS. We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and configuration process.

Installation

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.

2. Extract the downloaded file into the main WHMCS directory. The content of the package should look like this.

Configuration of Server

3. Now, we will show you how to configure a new product. Go to 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Servers' and press the 'Add New Server' button.

4. Next, choose 'EasyDCIMColocation' from the 'Type' dropdown menu. Fill in your server name, address, username and password (API Key). Next check the connection with an EasyDCIM server and press 'Save Changes'. Note: The password can be found in your EasyDCIM administrator user profile listed as 'API Key'.

5. The next step is creating a server group, to do so, click on 'Create Server Group'.

6. Enter the name, click on your previously created server, press 'Add' and 'Save Changes' afterwards.

Configuration of Product

7. In order to create and configure a product, go to 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Products/Services'. Click on 'Create a New Group'.

8. Enter the product group name and press 'Save Changes'.

9. When you have a product group, you can assign your product to it. To create a product, click on 'Create a New Product'.

10. Next, choose your product group, enter your product name and then press 'Continue'.

12. Now, go to the 'Module Settings' section, choose both 'EasyDCIM Colocation' and your previously created server group from dropdown menus. Do not forget to click 'Save Changes'.

12. Before configuring the product, set up the EasyDCIM Colocation cron job. Usually after order placement, the client services are not immediately activated in EasyDCIM (that depends on your EasyDCIM configuration). In those situations the synchronization cron is used to assign a matching colocation when service is ready. We suggest to run cron every 5 minutes. php -q yourWHMCS/modules/servers/EasyDCIMColocation/cron/Cron.php

13. The module configuration is partially non-mandatory. The server will be assigned basing on the defined configuration, matching only the filled out options. Default Options: Configurable Options - generate if you want to use configurable options insted the Location' and 'Model' set in product's module settings. Location (required) - a desired server location Model (required) - the EasyDCIM server model Product Configuration Auto Accept - automatically run server matching after rder placement. Use only if you have configured your EasyDCIM to automatiacally acctept services. If you use cron synchronization you can leave this option unchecked. Service Access Level - configure the access level to control the features available to your clients. These levels and features are defined in your EasyDCIM at 'Clients' → 'Services' → 'Access Level' tab. Service Actions Choose service actions to send chosen email notifications to selected administrators instead of performing provisioning actions immediately. Leave the fields unchecked to perform WHMCS module commands in a default manner.. Choose administrators that will receive the selected service notifications. Options Visible In Client Area Traffic Statistics - display statistics on traffic in the client area. Power Usage Statistics - display statistics on power usage in the client area. Power Outlets - display power outlets in the client area and allows client to manage them.

14. Now, you can optionally generate the default configurable options to allow placing orders tailored to customer needs. You can find them under 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Configurable Options'. Note: Any configurable option will overwrite its counterpart from the product's 'Module Settings'.

Custom Fields

Once the configuration of the module settings has been completed, the following custom fields will be created automatically. Note: These fields will not be visible to clients by default. OrderID - the number used to link the product with EasyDCIM order number ServerID - the number used to link the product with EasyDCIM server ID

Management

In this section we will show you all the possibilities of EasyDCIM Colocation For WHMCS. Our module allows you to offer and manage EasyDCIM colocation servers right in 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. The 'Log In To Panel' button allows you to immediately log in to the client's EasyDCIM control panel.

Our module allows you to create/suspend/unsuspend/terminate server.

Below the mentioned functions, there are traffic and power usage graphs with adjustable period of time.

Client Area

In the client area, your customers can view all details concerning their servers, manage their status remotely as well as log in to their EasyDCIM control panel with a single click.

Additionally, you can explore several usage graphs.

You can also view information about the traffic billing. Note: Available time intervals depend on the date of the product registration.

As well as reinstall OS on your server.

Moreover, it is possible to control your reverse DNS. You can either edit the already existing records or create new ones.

To create a record, just fill in the necessary information.

Your newly created record will appear on the list.

If you are using Dell or SuperMicro servers you can also access the KVM console.

It will launch a Java applet that will automatically connect to your server. Note: Your browser needs to have Java enabled with the correct permissions to make the console functioning.

Tips

1. Note that placing two identical orders may result in assigning servers with slightly different parameters. It stems from 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 that fulfills more requirements than others will be assigned. More information about server provisioning flow can be found on EasyDCIM documentation page.

2. As this server supports the templates system, any changes made in the server's templates files will be saved after the upgrade process.

3. Since the 1.3.0 version, the 'monthlyTrafficLimit|Monthly Traffic Limit' configurable option has been changed to 'Bandwidth|Bandwidth' . Remember to change it manually after updating the module.
