Installing Application Templates

To provision applications in Containers, the application templates should be installed on your Management Node.

To install an application template:

  1. Select Service Director - Virtuozzo Manager - Applications.
  2. Click the Install Application Template button.
  3. Select an application template location:
    1. You can also put the Application being installed into one of the predefined Application Categories (please, select from the Application category drop-down menu)
  4. Click the Upload button. The Parallels Business Automation - Standard examines the OS template selected and the OS template properties appear on the screen. Thus, you can decide upon installing this OS template right now or leave it in Uploaded state and (probably) install later.

    Note: If you have uploaded the application template to your Management Node, and this template remains in the Uploaded state, do not clear the /tmp directory at your Management Node. Otherwise, it will be impossible to install a template later.

  5. You can install the application template by clicking the Install button. You will be offered to select on which Hardware Nodes this application will be available for installation inside Containers. Select one of the variants:
  6. Click the Install button.You will be offered to set default price for this Application. In the case if you are installing not the base version of an Application, but an upgrade to it, then if the default price was set for an Application base version, you will be offered to set the new default price for upgraded Application (i.e., you can leave the old price or increase it in connection with upgrade).

    Note: Actually, you can proceed with installation without setting default prices. But in this case, you will be not able to include this Application in Hosting Plans or use it for custom Containers: in this case, the Hosting Plan (or Container) creation wizard will ignore such an Application and it will be missing in the list of available Applications. All Applications included in Hosting Plans (or installed in Containers) must have default prices since these prices are used for Customer Account Balance recalculation in the case of Hosting Plan upgrade. Though, if an Application was installed without setting default price, you can do this in the Billing Director Product Manager -Default Prices.

  7. Finally, if you already have some Hosting Plans, the Parallels Business Automation - Standard system will search for Hosting Plans that use the previous version of the Application being installed. If such Hosting Plans exist, you will be offered to select Hosting Plans for upgrade. After this, you can finalize installation process.

Please, repeat the steps described above to install all Application templates.
