Contents 1 Introduction 2 Importing Virtual Servers 2.1 OpenVZ 2.2 Xen PV 2.3 Xen HVM 2.4 KVM

Introduction

From version 1.9 you can import virtual servers either created manually or from another panel directly into SolusVM.

To enable Import Mode from the admincp go to Configuration >> Settings >> Other and tick Import Mode. Please note that enabling Import Mode will disable the admin API. It's also advisable to turn maintenance mode ON to stop clients accessing the imported virtual servers until the process is complete.
