After installing the SolusVM slave software on a host node, you will need to remove all IP addresses with the exception of the main IP.
Here is an example of IP addresses that are bound to the host node:
—-
#ifconfigeth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:25:90:94:8D:9C
inet addr:67.205.96.178 Bcast:67.205.96.191 Mask:255.255.255.224

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:8944 (8.7 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Based on the output, run the following command:
#ifconfig eth0:0 del 174.142.7.156
#ifconfig eth0:1 del 174.142.7.157
#ifconfig eth0:2 del 174.142.7.158
#ifconfig eth0:3 del 174.142.7.159
This will remove the IP addresses and free them up to be used properly with the virtual machine. They can now be added to the Host Node in SolusVM.
These interfaces will automatically reappear on reboot unless we get rid of the script responsible for adding them again. Go to/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and remove the files with the names of the interfaces that we just deleted. The files will be named ifcfg-eth0:1, ifcfg-eth0:2, etc.
This will prevent the IPs from being automatically added on boot of the node.
