### Trial Containers Setup

Please, click the Edit button on the Service Director - Virtuozzo Manager - Setup - Trial Container Setup screen to make settings for creation of trial Containers.

Note: Trial Containers creation settings are based on Hardware Nodes assignment, i.e., you can allow or disallow creation of trial Containers on one or another Hardware Node. If you have only one Hardware Node, there is just no choice, and that is because it is not possible to edit the trial Containers creation permissions. In case you have only one Hardware Node, creation of trial Containers is allowed by default. As soon as more then one Virtuozzo Hardware Nodes are registered, it becomes possible to edit trial Containers creation permissions.

Default setting for Container creation is "Allow on all Hardware Nodes". As you can see, you can impose certain restrictions not only on trial Containers, but on ordinary (non-trial) Containers as well. Restrictions available for trial and non-trial Containers are the same. Let us consider settings for trial Containers.

In general, three variants of policy for trial Containers creation exist:

- Allow trial Containers creation on all Hardware Nodes. In this case, set the radio button to All the Hardware Nodes.
- Allow trial Container creation on selected Hardware nodes only. In this case, set the radio button to Selected Hardware Nodes and click the Add button. The list of all registered Hardware Nodes will be displayed in popup window. Select Hardware Nodes by clicking on their names. In this case, the names of selected Hardware Nodes will appear in Selected menu. In the case of mistake, you can unselect a Hardware Node. To this effect, click on the name of this Hardware Node in Selected menu (its name will be highlighted) and click the Remove button.
- Allow trial Containers creation on all Hardware Nodes except selected. IN this case, set the radio button to Allow the hardware nodes except selected and select the Hardware Nodes in the same way as described in the item above.

Finally, for the sake of reliability of your Parallels Business Automation - Standard system, you can ease the restrictions imposed: you can allow creation of trial Containers on other (i.e., restricted) Hardware Nodes if the allowed Hardware Nodes are over-committed or unavailable. To this effect, check the appropriate checkbox.

Available settings for non-trial Containers creation are absolutely similar. After the necessary settings finished, click the Update button to save changes.
