An operating system template is a set of disk images and installation scripts consisting of the distribution and other data required for OS installation. Templates facilitate the installation of operating systems on virtual machines.

OS templates are downloaded and updated on the cluster master-node. By default, the OS templates are kept in the /nfsshare directory, which is set by the path ostemplatedir parameter in the control panel configuration file.

rsync: when installing an OS template or adding a cluster node, VMmanager will synchronize the directories using rsync. 

Synchronization of templates runs during the installation or update of templates in VMmanager. The templates that you added to the server manually (custom local templates) won't be synchronized automatically.  

Run the synchronization command for such OS templates: 


/usr/local/mgr5/sbin/mgrctl -m vmmgr osmgr.afterinstall
