Hello,

I installed openvz and one vz run on this server. I import this vz with vzdump.
Now I would create a new vz with this string:

vzctl create 200 --ostemplate centos-5-minimal

But it fails with the following errors

Creating container private area (centos-5-minimal)
Cached os template /vz/template/cache/centos-5-minimal.tar.gz not found
Creation of container private area failed

What can I do?

Thanks for help.

Hi,

you need a precreated OS Template, please read OpenVZ User Guide (-> http://download.openvz.org/doc/OpenVZ-Users-Guide.pdf ) page 13ff and see
wiki ( -> http://wiki.openvz.org/Category:Templates )

You can download precreated OS Templates at : http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/
( mirrors -> http://wiki.openvz.org/Download_mirrors )

and save it to "/vz/template/cache/"

afterwards you can use it:

$ vzctl set <CTID> --ostemplate <distribution-version-arch-...> [<more opts>]

which uses the template at:

/vz/template/cache/<distribution-version-arch-...>.tar.gz

Bye,
Thorsten

Hi,

sorry, but I dont understand you.
I downloaded a template.
In the directory "/vz/template/cache/" are
centos-5-i386-minimal.tar.gz
centos-5-x86_64.tar.gz

But when I create a vz I get this message.
Creating container private area (centos-5-minimal)
Cached os template /vz/template/cache/centos-5-minimal.tar.gz not found
Creation of container private area failed
I dont find a template called centos-5-minimal.tar.gz

$ vzctl create <CTID> --ostemplate centos-5-i386-minimal [...]

Hope this is clear enough Wink
