Get Started
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.
**Field Name ** | **Description ** |
|---|---|
Server Name | Friendly name. How you will see it inside Clientexec. |
Hostname | The name of the server where SolusVM resides. |
Shared IP | Main Server IP |
Plugin | SolusVM |
Maximum # of Accounts | Set this to 0 |
Stats URL | Not Mandatory. |
IP Addresses (one per line) | If for some reason you need to manually assign an IP to someone, you would add it here. The IP's are automatically assigned when created through Clientexec. |
**Plugin Options: **
**Field Name ** | **Description ** |
|---|---|
ID | This will be found in SolusVM via Configuration > API Access > ADD API USER |
Key | This will be found in SolusVM via Configuration > API Access > ADD API USER |
Port | The port to connect with SolusVM API. |
VM Username Custom Field | The name of the package custom field you will create that will hold the SolusVM Username. Note: This field should not be included in sign up. |
VM Password Custom Field | The name of the package custom field you will create that your client will fill out during checkout. |
VM Hostname Custom Field | The name of the package custom field you will create that your client will fill out during checkout. |
VM Operating System Custom Field | The name of the package custom field you will create that your client will select during checkout. *Note: Please read below for more details about how to configure this package custom field. |
VM Location Custom Field | Enter the name of the package custom field that will hold the Location (Node Group ID) for SolusVM. This is an optional setting only used if you have multiple locations/nodes |
Failure E-mail | Anytime there is an error received from SolusVM, it will be sent to this email. |
The custom fields will be created via Settings **> **Products **> **Custom Fields
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.
**Field Name ** | **Description ** |
|---|---|
Associated Servers | Choose the friendly name you assigned to the SolusVM server from the down box. |
Package Name on Server | You need to enter it exactly how it appears in your SolusVM Panel. To check the exact package name, inside SolusVM you can go to Plans > List Plans |
VM Type | This will also be listed in Plans > List Plans underneath the selected tab, (OpenVZ, XenPV, XenHVM, KVM< DNS) |
Node Group ID | This will be listed under Nodes > Node Groups. The ID is in the far left column. |
Number of IPs | How many IPs you want to assign upon creation of the container. |
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.
