This tutorial will go over how to install SolusVM on CentOS. We will be installing it as an OpenVZ Host.
You will want to setup the partitioning like so:
/boot – 200MB
/ – 10GB
swap – 2 times RAM (if RAM is <=2GB otherwise RAM + 2GB)
/vz – remaining space (templates and virtual servers will be stored here)
Once CentOS is installed we can begin the setup of SolusVM.
First we will want to install php as this is required to install SolusVM.

# yum install php

Next we want to disable SELinux.

# setenforce 0

Download the SolusVM installer.

# wget http://soluslabs.com/installers/solusvm/install

Set permissions to the file.

# chmod 755 install

Run the installer.

# ./install

The installer will ask you a couple questions since we are installing on CentOS you will press 1 when prompted.
Then since we are installing a Master with OpenVZ Visualization you will press 2.
The installer will run and once complete it will prompt you with your SolusVM login information.
You will then want to reboot the server so it boots into the new kernel.
