vzmtemplate

The vzmtemplate utility is used to migrate the installed OS and application standard templates and OS EZ templates from the Source Server to the Destination Server. It has the following syntax:

vzmtemplate [-bhz] [--ssh=< ssh_options >]

<[ user_name @] Destination_server_IP_Address > template_name ...

The following options can be used with vzmtemplate :

Option	Description
`-z, --eztempl`	Migrates the specified OS EZ template(s) installed on the Source Server. Without this option specified, `vzmtemplate` moves standard OS and application templates.
`--ssh=` `ssh_options`	Additional `ssh` options to be used while connecting to the Destination Server.
`-b, --batch`	This option should be passed to `vzmtemplate` in scripts if you are going to use these scripts for running the `vzmtemplate` utility and do not wish them to analyze the `vzmtemplate` command output.
`-h, --help`	Displays the utility usage and exits.

To migrate a template, you should execute the vzmtemplate command on the Source Server and pass the corresponding options to it. During its execution, the utility will try to connect to the Destination Server with the IP address of Destination_server_IP_Address and move the specified template(s) to this server. By default, vzmtemplate logs in to the Destination Server as root and asks you for the password of this user. However, you can make the utility use other credentials to log in to the Destination Server by appending the corresponding user name with the @ symbol to the Server IP address (e.g. user1@192.168.0.123 ). Keep in mind that the specified user should have the root privileges; otherwise, the command will fail.
