The vps_optimized utility is used for switching Linux-based Plesk
installations into the operation mode optimized for running in virtual
environments. The mode switches off InnoDB engine in MySQL database
server, and Apache web server modules that are not critical for hosting
services. This makes Plesk use less memory than other control panels
available on the market, which ensures better utilization of hardware
resources and increased density of virtual environments per server.
The only disadvantages of using the optimized mode are as follows:
- Web applications requiring InnoDB will not work.
- Perl, python and ASP scripts will not work because the required
Apache modules will be switched off. - PHP will be available only through CGI.
Note: The optimized mode can be switched on only on clean Plesk
installations, which have not yet been configured. It cannot be
switched on for the Plesk installations upgraded from earlier
versions.
If you are running Plesk in a Virtuozzo container, then you do not need
to use the vps_optimized utility. Only install the
pp11.0.0-vps-optimized EZ template. The template will apply the
necessary configuration.
If you use other virtualization solutions or running the Plesk software
on dedicated servers, you can use the vps_optimized utility to
switch Plesk to the optimized mode:
plesk bin vps_optimized --turn-on
