Uploading and Installing Template on Hardware Node

Parallels Infrastructure Manager enables you to upload and install templates on any of Virtuozzo Group Hardware Nodes by clicking the New Template button above the table listing available OS and application templates. In case you have one or more new Virtuozzo templates that you would like to install on your Hardware Nodes, you should first have these files accessible from the computer where Infrastructure Manager is launched (e.g. insert the CD-ROM with the templates into the computer CD-ROM drive or copy the templates to the computer hard disk).

To install a new Virtuozzo template to a Virtuozzo Group Hardware Node, do the following:

1. Click the Browse button and provide the right path to the template (this must be the path accessible from the computer where Parallels Infrastructure Manager is running).
2. Select the Hardware Node on which the template will be installed by clicking the icon next to the Hardware Node field in the Select Hardware Node section and opening the screen where you may choose the Node from the list of Nodes.
   • Select the type of the template you are going to install. This is required to speed up and streamline the process of installing the template. The overall installation procedure is, for its most part, quite the same for both EZ and standard templates. The basic difference between the two is that standard templates are provided as solid entities together with the Virtuozzo Containers software, while the EZ templates are built up from separate chunks of code that are uploaded from the web during installation.

     Standard templates may be a better choice if you have a slow Internet connection. However, EZ templates always include the latest security and functionality updates.

3. Select the Force Installation checkbox if you want to install the template even in case any errors have appeared during the installation process.
4. Click Submit to upload and install the template.

After the template has been uploaded and installed on one Hardware Node as described above, it can be copied to and installed on any number of Hardware Nodes at once. To do this, go to a list of templates in the Virtuozzo Group context, select the template, and click the Install to Nodes button.
