Managing EZ Templates
Installing Application EZ Templates
The same way as you use an OS EZ template in a Parallels Virtuozzo Containers system to create
any number of Containers on its basis and share its resources, you can use application EZ
templates to share application files among any number of Containers.
To install a new application EZ template on the Node, you can use the vzpkg install
template command. For example, to install the mysql EZ template intended for use on the
CentOS 5 distribution, you can execute the following command:
# vzpkg install template mysql-centos-5-x86
Preparing... ################################## [100%]
1:mysql-centos-5-x86 ################################## [100%]
The mysql EZ template is installed into the
/vz/template/centos/5/x86/config/app/mysql directory on the Node. To check that
the installation was successful, you can use the vzpkg list command:
# vzpkg list
centos-5-x86 2010-04-21 02:22:45
centos-5-x86 mysql
As you see, the mysql EZ template is now available on the Node and can be added to Containers.
Downloading and Installing EZ Templates with
vzup2date
You can use the vzup2date utility to download new OS and application EZ templates to your
server and install them there. To do this, execute the utility with the -z option. Once you run the
utility, the Welcome window appears.
