Hello, Thanks for the info Scott. I'll have read through that all and see if I can figure out what needs to change. The templates having issues are our production (vz legacy) templates on centos6 nodes and never had a problem. The originals are all from the openvz temlpate download page. So probably just missing that small info that is causing the failures.
