Adding a SolusVM Server and Products
SolusVM (Solus Virtual Manager) is a VPS management system with grapical interface.
First, you need to configure the plugin in Clientexec's server section as shown in the picture below. Go to Settings > Products > Servers
Now you need to add your SolusVM server by clicking Add Server.
Plugin Options:
The custom fields will be created via Settings > Products > Custom Fields
*You will need to link a friendly name with the Operating System file name (minus the extension) located inside your SolusVM.
Example, if you have an Operating System called** CentOS 5 32bit** and the file name is centos-5-x86.tar.gz, you need to label it as such in the custom field, CentOS 5 64bit(centos-5-x86)
Remember to not include the file extension, if you want to include multiple operating systems you can use a comma (,) to separate them, like so: CentOS 5 64bit(centos-5-x86_64), CentOS 5 32bit(centos-5-x86)
Next step we need to allow your products to use the SolusVM server we just created.
In your Clientexec admin area, go to Settings > Products > Products
Search and click on your product that will be using SolusVM.
This example will be assuming you have setup your packages already.
Click on the Advanced & Plugin Settings tab.
If you wish to have the package created automatically after the Order Processor service has been run, go back to the General tab and check the Automatically Activate Package? checkbox.
Note: For more information about the Order Processor service and other services available please visit Settings > Plugins > Automation Services
Please keep in mind you will need to repeat this process for each package that will be using the SolusVM server.
