Listing Templates

Sometimes, you may need to get an overview of the templates available on your Parallels server. For example, this may be necessary if you plan to create a virtual machine or Container from a specific template, but do not remember its exact name. In this case, you can use the prlctl list command to list all templates on the Parallels server and find the necessary one:

# prlctl list -t

{4ad11c28-9f0e-4086-84ea-9c0487644026} win-2008 template1

{64bd8fea-6047-45bb-a144-7d4bba49c849} rhel template3

{6d3c9d6f-921a-484d-9772-bc7096f68df1} win-2008 template2

In this example, 3 templates exist on the server. The information on these templates is presented in the form of a table with the following columns (from left to right): the template ID, the operating system contained in the template, and the template name.
