Before creating a container, you need to choose an OS EZ template it will be based on. To find out which OS EZ templates are already installed on the hardware node and cached (i.e. ready to be used), you can use the vzpkg list command. For example:
# vzpkg list -O
centos-6-x86_64 2012-05-10 13:16:43
The timestamp next to an OS EZ template indicates when the template was cached.
Adding the -O option to the vzpkg list command, you can list only those OS EZ templates which are installed but not cached. You can also add the --with-summary option to display brief template descriptions:
# vzpkg list -O --with-summary
centos-6-x86_64 :CentOS 6 (for AMD64/Intel EM64T) EZ OS Template
