Resolution

1. Backup all containers for emergency.

2. Run Virtuozzo autoinstaller vzinstall.exe, choose Download only mode. Once components list is fetched, please choose architecture and language you have installed on this node, click OK. Autoinstaller will download both SP1 and SP2 templates.

   Note: If you run vzinstall.exe on SP1 server it does not download SP2 template, because the tool checks SP level of the server and downloads corresponding templates only. You may use computer with different OS (e.g. Windows XP/Vista) to download required templates.

3. Go to download folder specified on step 2 and find downloaded OS template archive: e.g. w2k3en_SP2_x86.ex_

3. Rename it to w2k3en_SP2_x86.exe and run to extracte template .efd file. E.g. it would be w2k3sp2_std_20070911_en_x86.efd

4. Remove old cache of w2k3sp1.efd from \vz\templates\__cache folder.

5. Copy extracted w2k3sp2_std_20070911_en_x86.efd to \vz\Templates\__cache folder next to the old SP1 template.

6. Stop all containers, including the Service Container:



7. Ensure that all containers are stopped using "vzlist -a" command. 

8. Uninstall current w2k3 OS template: 



. Ensure that \vz\Templates\w2k3 folder is removed.

10. Install w2k3 sp2 OS template: 


Independently of complex template name it will be unpacked in \vz\Templates\w2k3 folder.

11. Install Microsoft Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 on the Node.

12. Reboot the Node. 

IMPORTANT: Do not reboot the Hardware Node any time between steps 5 and 10.
