3.4.19. vzpkg upgrade

The vzpkg upgrade command is used to upgrade an OS EZ template the container is based on to a newer version.

Syntax. 

vzpkg upgrade [<options>] <CT_name>

Table 3.43. Options

NameDescription

-C, --cache

Makes the vzpkg upgrade command check for the packages included in the OS EZ template in the local vzpkg cache only. If any package is not available locally, the command will fail. You can omit this parameter if the elapsed time from the last vzpkg cache update does not exceed the value of the METADATA_EXPIRE parameter specified in the /etc/vztt/vztt.conf file; in this case vzpkg upgrade will also check the local vzpkg cache only.

-r, --remote

If the elapsed time from the last local vzpkg cache update does not exceed the value of the METADATA_EXPIRE parameter specified in the /etc/vztt/vztt.conf file, you should use this option to make vzpkg upgrade check for the packages in the remote repositories set for handling the given EZ OS template.

-n, --check-only

Simulates the same operations as vzpkg upgrade completes without specifying this option (downloads the packages to the server, handles their interdependencies, etc.); however, the packages themselves inside the container are not upgraded.

-f, --force

Forces the upgrade of the OS EZ template.

-d, --debug <num>

Sets the debugging level to one of the specified values (from 0 to 10). 10 is the highest debug level and 0 sets the debug level to its minimal value.

-q, --quiet

Disables logging to the screen and to the log file.
