Importing Xen PV virtual servers

To import an Xen Paravirtualized virtual server from the administration panel do the following:

  1. Select Virtual Servers > Add Virtual Server

  2. Select Xen PV

  3. Select the Node & Plan, then click Continue

  4. Enter the Xen ID of the virtual server you want to import in the Xen ID field

  5. Fill in the rest of the fields

  6. Click the Create Virtual Server button

  7. Add any extras ip's etc. to the virtual server

  8. Click the reboot button to reboot the vps and rewrite the configuration files

If you are importing from another panel or using custom named logical volumes you will need to rename the logical volume to match the SolusVM format. The logical volumes are displayed in the creation success message. Otherwise the management disk storage will be imposible and the configuration file of the VPS will be corrupted.

Example: SolusVM format: 

/dev/LOGICAL_VOLUME_NAME/vmID_img
/dev/LOGICAL_VOLUME_NAME/vmID_swap
OR 
/dev/vps/vm101_img
/dev/vps/vm101_swap
