Switching takes only a few steps. In this article, we will see the steps our Support Techs employ.

1. Initially, we login to the SolusIO admin panel.

2. Then to fetch the VPS UUID, we go to, SolusIO > Virtual Servers > VPS.

3. After that, we connect to Compute Resource via SSH.

4. In addition, we need to back up the config files:

cp /etc/libvirt/qemu/UUID.xml{,.orig}

cp /usr/local/solus/ovs_rules/UUID{,.orig}

Here, we make sure to replace UUID with actual UUID fetched in step 2.

5. Once done, we open the VPS config for editing:

virsh edit UUID

6. Then we modify the following line:

<source bridge=’br-routed’/>

to

<source bridge=’br-int’/>

7. Eventually, we replace the ‘br-routed’ occurrences in the VPS openvswitch rules file with ‘br-int’ using the below command:

sed -i ‘s/br-routed/br-int/g’ /usr/local/solus/ovs_rules/d080dedc-e7af-411c-af22-4ba150f9688a

8. Finally, to reboot the VPS, we go to, SolusIO > Virtual Servers > VPS
