Unable to get full ostemplate name [message #37845]

I downloaded http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/contrib/cento s-5-x86_64-default-5.4-20091022.tar.gz
and placed it in /vz/template/cache

then:
% vzctl create 103 --ostemplate centos-5-x86_64-default-5.4-20091022
Unable to get full ostemplate name for centos-5-x86_64-default-5.4-20091022
Creating container private area (centos-5-x86_64-default-5.4-20091022)
Performing postcreate actions
Container private area was created

what is that error: "Unable to get full ostemplate name"
will this affect administering the system at all?

Also, the hostnode is centos 5.3 should I use vzyum to update the CT or just use yum inside the container? What are the benefits of using vzyum over yum in the CT?

thanks

Hi,

It doesn't affect administering the system.
The message means that the provided name of a cached template doesn't obey the internal form which is expected
(/usr/share/vzpkg/functions file; function ost2full())
But that's OK since you're using the precreated template.

Once the package has been dowloaded it may be installed into different VEs without downloading it once more.
