I’m going to start writing tutorials for SolusVM with my experiences, problems which I faced and their solutions. This post is the first post in this series.
SolusVM is GUI based VPS management system with full OpenVZ, Linux KVM, Xen Paravirtualization and Xen HVM support.
SolusVM allowed master to run on OpenVZ virtualized server, you cannot install it on XEN or KVM. Master can run on a separate vps or a server without any virtualization where you can add OpenVZ, XEN and KVM slaves.
Installation :
Installation of SolusVM is explained in their Wiki, however it do not explained that you need to install OpenVZ/Xen/KVM kernel before installing SolusVM.
System requirement for OpenVZ node

/ 10GB SWAP 2 times RAM (if RAM <=2GB otherwise RAM + 2GB is plenty) /vz remaining space (templates & virtual servers will be stored here) |
Installing OpenVZ kernel
Download latest kernel RPM from OpenVZ website.
I’m going CentOS6.3 x64 server for which latest kernel is 042stab059.7.
