How to clone SolusIO VPS

Are you looking for a way to clone SolusIO VPS? Well, you have come to the right place. Our Support Techs have come up with a workaround since the current implementation does not offer this specific functionality.

1. First, we will log in to the SolusIO admin panel.
2. Then, we have to create a new VPS with the same resources just like the source VPS.
3. After that, stop both the VPSs.
4. Next, we have to navigate to Virtual Servers in SolusIO to get the Hypervisor ID of both VPS.
5. Then, we will find the image path for both the VPSs as seen below:

   For source:

   #virsh domblklist 
   Target Source
   ------------------------------------------------
   sda /var/lib/libvirt/images/39/468c2ba5ab8b70016908b774287966ef
   hdb /usr/local/solus/iso_images/39/config.iso

   For destination:

   #  virsh domblklist 
   Target Source
   ------------------------------------------------
   sda /var/lib/libvirt/images/46/f9616495b867f6b3c65fa7fb7b832128
   hdb /usr/local/solus/iso_images/46/config.iso

6. After that, we have to rename the destination image with the following command:

   # mv /var/lib/libvirt/images/46/f9616495b867f6b3c65fa5fb7b833128{,.orig}

7. Finally, we will copy the source image to the destination as seen below:

   # qemu-img convert -O qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/39/468c2ba5ab8b70016908b774296966ef /var/lib/libvirt/images/46/f9616495b867f6b3c65fa7fb7b832128
