Question

 What are the requirements to install the SolusVM? 

Answer

Note: SolusVM Master must be installed on a freshly installed server updated to the latest version with yum update
SolusVM Slave can be installed on a server with VPSes running on it already and it will be possible to import them to SolusVM, see Importing Virtual Servers into SolusVM
SolusVM Slave must not be installed on a server with a similar software like Virtualizor.
It is not recommended to convert CentOS 7 to OpenVZ 7 for OpenVZ containers. Install OpenVZ 7 using OpenVZ 7 ISO image instead
