Managing Application Templates in Group Context

Parallels Infrastructure Manager allows you to list application templates available in your datacenter by clicking the Templates tab of any Infrastructure Manager folder (e.g. Infrastructure). The information on application templates is presented in the table with the following columns:

Column Name	Description
Name	The name of the application template.
Version	The latest version of the application 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 do not have versions.
Description	The description of the application template.
Platform	Denotes whether this is a Windows or a Linux template.
OS	The exact version of the operating system the template is intended for.
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 application templates, you may have the Templates table display only those application 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 your application template(s) should meet; then click on the Search link. To view all the application 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 application templates:

Upload a new template that you have locally and install it on a Hardware Node registered in Infrastructure Manager (the New Template button);
Select some templates in the table and install them on one or more Infrastructure Manager Hardware Nodes at once (the Install to Nodes button);
Select some templates in the table and add them to one or more Containers (the Add to Containers button);
Note: For a template to be added to a Container, it first should be installed on the Node where the Container is hosted.
Delete those application templates that are not needed any more. To this effect, select the checkboxes opposite the application templates you wish to delete and click the Uninstall from Nodes button.

Clicking an application template name opens the screen where you can view the detailed information on it.
