Question

How to add a VPC(private) network in SolusVM 2?

Answer

To use the functionality you will need to do the following

1. Assign private IP addresses to Compute Resources via UI > Compute Resources > Settings for a CR
2. Create a new VPC network in UI > Networks > VPC Networks (make sure to exclude IPs you assigned to CR from the range or set of private IPs you add)
3. Open a VM in UI > Virtual Servers > Networking and choose the VPC Network you created
4. The IP will be assigned automatically once the VPC is attached to the VM

Note: there are following rules and limitations for the feature

• Creating a VPC network to connect multiple KVM servers in one location is now possible using a private network.
• Compute resources now have the "IP for VPC network" setting, allowing the VPC networks feature to be used. To use the feature, specify a private IP address for the setting on all compute resources in one location. The IP addresses must be from one of the following ranges: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16.
• Users with the "manage owned VPC networks" permission can create, attach, detach, and delete VPC networks in the User Area.
• Importing nodes with virtual servers with private IP addresses from SolusVM 1 is now possible.
• It's now possible to migrate a virtual server with private IP addresses from nodes imported from SolusVM 1.
