While the Template Updates screen is being loaded, you can see the Virtuozzo Containers software looking for the available updates of the OS and/or application templates of all the Linux distributions Virtuozzo supports. The updates search is performed if:
And, finally, the Virtuozzo Containers software starts looking for updates if you click the Check For Updates button on the Infrastructure Manager toolbar. After the checking procedure is over, its results are displayed in two sections: the first one tells you the exact time of the last update check and the second lists the available updates, the number of which is given in brackets at the end of the name of the section, Available Template Updates.
Note: To obtain the information on the templates updates, the Virtuozzo Containers software establishes connection with the update repository. If the connection fails, it tells you that Virtuozzo cannot check for template updates now, the notice being displayed instead of the Available Template section. In this case, you can check the connection with the update repository: follow the advice to Please check the repository settings below to open the page where you can configure these settings.
The information on the available templates in this section is organized in the following way:
The first item in the list is the OS templates updates followed by the application templates updates down the list.The number of the updates is shown in brackets. The number of "new" updates corresponds to the number of templates not installed on the Hardware Node at the moment of the updates check and the number of "updates" per se is how many template updates you can download from the Virtuozzo update repository to the Hardware Node. The latter number is reversely dependent on the former: if you do not have a certain template installed on the Node, there are no updates available for this template. If you click the OS Templates item, it expands into the list of the OS templates updates and each of them, when expanded, provides you with the information about this template. Similarly, to have the list of application templates updates, click the Applications for ... item and then the application short description to learn what this application is used for and the features it includes.
If you want to install anything from the updates list, click the Install Updates button.
