### Importing Templates from Hardware Nodes

After you have installed the templates to a Hardware Node, you need to register these templates in the Parallels Business Automation - Standard database to be able to use the templates in the Hosting Plans. Importing templates from Hardware Nodes to the Parallels Business Automation - Standard database is a quick and easy way of templates installation to the HSPC Management Node from a Hardware Node you have so far managed.

To register a template on a Management Node:

1. Go to Service Director - Virtuozzo Manager - Nodes - <Node>.
2. Click OS Templates or Applications. The list of all OS templates installed on the Hardware Node appears on the screen.
3. Click on the Register OS Templates From Node or Register Applications From Node button and confirm your action on the dialogue screen.
4. Click Refresh at the top of the page to update the system information. Now you will be able to create Hosting Plans that use this OS template for Container creation with provisioning this Container on the Hardware Node you have registered the OS template for.

   Note: You can only import OS templates for Virtuozzo for Windows versions no older than the 3.5 release.

You can also use the Register OS Templates/Applications From Node operation to update the actual status of all the templates installed on a Management Node.

Important: You can import to the Management Node the Virtuozzo for Windows templates only in the .efd format.
