Question

How to edit the Operating System information of the VPS in SolusVM?

Answer

It is not possible to edit an operating system name for the existing VPS in SolusVM UI tools.

However, it is possible to update this properties directly in SolusVM database

Warning: In general it is strongly not recommended to update SolusVM database directly in order avoiding possible inconsistency state. Apply the steps below if this is really necessary.

1. Connect to the Master Node via SSH
2. Create a backup of SolusVM database first to make sure that changes can be reverted
3. Access SolusVM database on Master node
   

   # wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solusvm-support/helpers/master/solusvmdb.sh && sh solusvmdb.sh

4. Run the following query:
   

   MYSQL_LIN: update vservers set templatename="template_name" where vserverid="vserver_id";
   

   Note: "template_name" is the new Operating system name and "vserver_id" is VPS ID in SolusVM
