Parallels Infrastructure Manager allows you to list OS templates installed on the Hardware Nodes registered in Infrastructure Manager. They may be already used or not used by certain Containers. All OS templates installed on the Hardware Nodes are listed on the OS Templates page (displayed on clicking the Templates tab of any Infrastructure Manager folder) in the following table:
Column Name |
Description |
Name |
The name of the OS template. |
Version |
The latest 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. |
Available |
A template can be installed on several Infrastructure Manager Hardware Nodes. This column shows if there is at least one online Node where the template is installed (Yes). If not, the column says No. |
Original Node |
The same template can be installed on several Nodes, but only one of them can pass the information on the template to Infrastructure Manager. This column shows which one. |
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 Nodes, click on the Reset Results link to the right of the parameter fields.
You can have Parallels Infrastructure Manager display only those parameters you need at the moment. To show or hide certain columns, click the Select Columns link and select the parameters you want to be displayed or clear those you do not.
With the help of the Infrastructure Manager toolbar you can perform the following operations on OS templates:
Select some templates in the table and cache them on the Nodes where the templates are already installed (the Cache on Nodes link);Note: If any Container on your Hardware Nodes is based on the OS template you wish to delete, the OS template deletion will fail.
Clicking an OS template name opens the screen where you can cache the template packages and view detailed information on them.
