Deleting Virtual Servers

Submitted by izoox on Fri, 04/15/2011 - 16:00

I use both secondary dns and secondary mail server systems inside virtualmin. I want to do a bare metal backup and restore of a box to effectively divide a server's sites into two boxes. So when I go to delete the old account from the opposing server, I don't want virtualmin to automatically remove the accounts from the secondary systems. Is there a way to do it so that I force an update of the secondary systems? or block virtualmin from removing the secondaries?

This also comes into play if I do a backup / restore inside virtualmin and go to cleanup the domain off the old box.

If Virtualmin has setup the secondary zone on a remote server and you delete the domain from the master system, it will also delete the remote secondary zone. The only way to stop this is to stop Webmin on the remote system temporarily, with the command /etc/webmin/stop , do the delete, then start it up again with /etc/webmin/start

Perfect. That is exactly what I needed. I do this process all the time and end up manually setting up domain secondaries again, as well as re-adding the domain to the mail secondaries.
