Resolution

Update SolusVM to the latest mainline version.

Workaround
  1. Create blank VPS (template=none) 
  2. Change to virtio disk device driver, rewrite config, poweroff
  3. Connect to slave server via SSH and execute the following:

    # virt-resize --no-sparse -d --resize-force /dev/sda1=2048M --expand /dev/sda2 /home/solusvm/kvm/template/{template} {path_to_vps_lvm}

  4. boot the VPS in SolusVM, let initial first boot process complete.
  5. SolusVM password change
  6. SolusVM reconfigure
