Managing EZ Templates
After the EZ templates/template updates have been successfully downloaded to the Node, the
Installing EZ template window is displayed.
In this window you can view the templates/template updates ready to be installed on your Node. If
you are installing a new OS EZ template/template update, you can make use of the Run vzpkg
cache after installation check box to cache the corresponding OS EZ template/template update
right after its installation on the Node. By default, all OS EZ templates are just installed on the Node
without being cached; however, you can select the provided check box and schedule your OS EZ
template/template update for caching. Clicking Next starts installing the selected EZ
templates/template updates on the Node. By the time the wizard finishes you should have updated
OS and application EZ templates on your system.
Another way of updating your EZ templates is to run the vzup2date utility in the command line
mode, which can be done by passing the corresponding commands, switches, and options to
vzup2date. For example, the following command will update the fedora-core-13-x86 OS EZ
template to the latest version:
# vzup2date -z -m batch install fedora-core-13-x86
Detailed information on all options that can be passed to the vzup2date utility is given in the
Parallels Command Line Reference Guide.
