  3. Connect to Compute Resource via SSH

  4. Back up the config files:

    # cp /etc/libvirt/qemu/UUID.xml{,.orig}
    # cp /usr/local/solus/ovs_rules/UUID{,.orig}

    replace UUID with actual UUID fetched in step 2.

  5. Open VPS config for editing:

    # virsh edit UUID

  6. Modify the line:

    CONFIG_TEXT: <source bridge='br-routed'/>

    to

    CONFIG_TEXT: <source bridge='br-int'/>

  7. Replace 'br-routed' occurrences in the VPS openvswitch rules file with 'br-int' using the command:

    # sed -i 's/br-routed/br-int/g' /usr/local/solus/ovs_rules/d080dedc-e7af-411c-af22-4ba150f9688a

  8. Reboot the VPS at SolusIO > Virtual Servers > VPS
