vzpkgcache
This utility creates/updates template caches for OS templates. You should run this utility before
you can use a newly installed OS template for creating Virtual Private Servers. It has the
following syntax:
vzpkgcache [-f|--force] [osname ...]
vzpkgcache -r|--remove osname [...]
This utility checks the metadata for all the templates installed on the Hardware Node and if it
finds an OS template for which no cache exists, it starts downloading and installing all packages
listed in the configuration file and creates a cache at the end. In case a cache already exists, the
utility updates it, i.e. installs all the updated packages that have been issued since the cache was
created or updated last time.
If you want to create or update specific OS template(s), supply their name(s) on the command
line.
Normally you run
vzpkgcache
without any options. However, it understands the following
options:
-r, --remove
osname
[…]
Remove the cache for the templates specified in the
command line (
osname
). This option requires an
explicit list of templates, i.e. there is no default action
to remove all caches.

psid
[
yum_argument
...]
