OpenVZ Platform - Important network update

[Administrator]

Dear OpenVZ Users,

An effort to make you aware of an issue that is affecting OpenVZ Red Hat based VPS servers. This issue can effect Fedora and Centos based systems hosted on any VZ platforms.

An update for Red Hat based operating systems was recently released by the developers of these Linux distros, that breaks the IP route binary (iproute-2.6.32-23.el6.i686) installed on them. If the IP route software is broken, then the networking service for the operating system will not start and the VPS will not connect to the network.  When a VPS is affected in this manner, SolusVM panel may report that the VPS is started, however it will not be accessible over the internet. 

Please be aware that a large amount of our OpenVZ VPS clients have Centos installed on their VPS servers & are affected due to this update.

Please get in touch with our Support team & ask us for assistance.
