Question

How to add slave SolusVM node to a Master SolusVM node?

Answer

  1. Access SolusVM slave node over SSH.

  2. Get ID Key:ID Password pair from /usr/local/solusvm/data/solusvm.conf file:

    # cat /usr/local/solusvm/data/solusvm.conf
    DIHOhOJkQfhk7iDkFS2w2PgBpgo4niLj7yr2VS9vq4LmbiwxTi:wXEonrxjek7fTbVTxOHVTPqY7wUjgZyLKRb37XkhhFNTaSybGP

    In the example above DIHOhOJkQfhk7iDkFS2w2PgBpgo4niLj7yr2VS9vq4LmbiwxTi is ID Key, wXEonrxjek7fTbVTxOHVTPqY7wUjgZyLKRb37XkhhFNTaSybGP is ID Password.

    SVM_WARN: In case the node was previously connected to another SolusVM master, remove /usr/local/solusvm/data/allow.dat:
    rm -f /usr/local/solusvm/data/allow.dat

  3. Log in to SolusVM admin interface and depending on virtualization type:

Add SolusVM OpenVZ slave node

    Thank you for the feedback! We have edited the article to specify all required parameters for adding a node to SolusVM Master.
    Regarding KVM Bridge specifically - you need to write down the interface on your KVM node that is used for bridge network - in most cases (we recommend it in our documentation) as well as in the example in the article - this is br0 interface.
