I got the following information from the bottom of this procedure .

http://www.powerpbx.org/content/rhel-openvz-template-install -guide

From command line on the actual node.

Create a variable for the OpenVZ container which in this example is 110.

CTID=110

Alternatively you can substitute "$CTID" with the actual CTID in the following commands.

Stop the container by typing vzctl stop $CTID.
Make sure you are in the /vz/private/$CTID folder.
cd /vz/private/$CTID

Finally, package up the new template by typing:
tar -czvf /vz/template/cache/centos-5-<ARCH>-<DISTRO>.tar.gz ./

"centos-5" can also be "centos-6" or "scientificlinux-6" or ? OpenVZ expects the format "OS + "-" + "version".
<ARCH> is also mandatory and MUST be one of the following:
i386, x86, x86_64

<DISTRO> can be whatever you want it to be.

The template is ready for use.
