Infrastructure Manager allows you to list OS templates installed on a particular Hardware Node. They may be already used or not used by certain Containers. All OS templates installed on the Hardware Node are listed on the OS Templates page in the following table:
Column Name |
Description |
Name |
The name of the OS template. |
Version |
The last version of the OS template available for installation. Applicable to standard Virtuozzo templates only, because EZ templates do not have versions. |
Type |
Denotes if it is a standard or an EZ Virtuozzo template. Standard templates carry all the necessary package files inside themselves and have versions. EZ templates have only information about the necessary packages, and the packages themselves are downloaded from a central repository. EZ templates don't have versions. |
Description |
The description of the OS template. |
Platform |
Denotes the operating system the template is intended for. |
Architecture |
The microprocessor architecture. |
|
The standard OS template, when installed or updated, comes cached by default. So, the "Yes"/"No" value in this column is relevant mainly for OS EZ templates. If the value is "No", this means that to base Containers on this template you need to cache it first. |
To facilitate working with OS templates, you may have the Templates table display only those OS templates that have a particular name or word in their description or conform to some other criteria. On top of the table, click the Show Search link to display the fields where you can specify the parameters the OS templates should meet; then click on the Search link. To view all OS templates residing on your Hardware Node, click on the Reset Results link to the right of the parameter fields.
To show or hide certain columns, click the Select Columns link, select the parameters you want to be displayed or clear those you do not and click Save.
With the help of the toolbar located above the table you can perform the following operations on OS templates:
prepare an OS template (be it EZ or standard) for creating Containers on its basis by selecting it and clicking Cache;Note: If any Container on the Hardware Node is based on the OS template you wish to delete, the OS template deletion will fail.
update an OS template (be it EZ or standard) with new packages from the update repository by selecting it and clicking Update.Clicking an OS template name opens the screen where you can cache the template packages and view detailed information on them.
