Hi Kir, Thanks for the reminder. Actually, vzctl create did download the template and create the container, once I worked around the issue of /var/tmp needing to be ext4.
But the corresponding ez-template packages need to be installed, I think, and that's what threw me, since there was nothing like that in the openvz that I had used from 2010 onward. At any rate, I'm happy to see the ez templates in openvz. It's a very good feature.
