Adding KVM Template to SolusVM Server

Some of the config files for SolusVM

/usr/local/solusvm/data/solusvm.conf

This file store SolusVM database login details in following format

<DATABASENAME>:<USER>:<PASSWORD>:<HOST>:<the key is the last entry>

/usr/local/solusvm/data/allow.dat

On SolusVM slaves, this file store IP of master server. If IP of master changed, you have to delete this file, it get auto generated.

You can download SolusVM virtual machine templates from

https://tdn.solusvm.com

Before you can download templates, you need to login with your SolusVM license ID. This you can find in your SolusVM installation > Configuration > Licenses

For example, debian 8 KVM image can be downloaded from

https://tdn.solusvm.com/kvm/debian-8-0-x86-64-minimal-gen2-v1

On bottom of this page, click download link to download the image. You get command line following

wget http://media.us1.soluslabs.net/kvm_X_linux-debian-8.0-x86_64-minimal-gen2-v1.gz -O /home/solusvm/kvm/template/linux-debian-8.0-x86_64-minimal-gen2-v1.gz

This is a timed link that expire after 3 hours, so you will need to generate it your own.

Now run the command on SolusVM master server.
