Installing a Slave

Select option 2
You will now be presented with the next menu as illustrated below:
If you need to install a slave that will host OpenVZ virtual servers, select option 1
If you need to install a slave that will host Xen virtual servers, select option 2
If you need to install a slave that already hosts virtual servers, select option 3
The install will now do it's work.
Remembering to disable SELinux as required.

TroubleShooting
There seems to have been a slight problem with our database, please try again later
This usually occurs when the SolusVM MySQL installation has conflicted with an existing MySQL instance.
To fix this problem run the following on the node:
yum remove mysql mysql-client mysql-server
Now run the SolusVM installer again.
I keep getting connection error when adding a slave to the master.
Check the IP Address that is listed in /usr/local/solusvm/data/allow.dat on the slave matches the IP Addess of the master. This file can take more than one ip address but each ip must be on it's own line.
To double check the IP of the master do the following:
curl -s http://checkip.dyndns.org/ | grep -o "[[:digit:].]\+"
The above code should output the correct IP. You can also check the main IP of the node by doing the following:
ifconfig
Make sure the correct IP is listed for eth0.
Volume Group not found
Check if you have inserted the correct VG (Volume Group) name.
This error also occurs when other settings are configured incorrect, such as the master node IP on the slave.
I get PHP modules errors after install.
SolusVM uses the standard CentOS PHP rpms for its installation so any other version usually breaks the system.
