KVM SolusVM Templates

Hi guys,

I'm learning how to setup KVM nodes with solusvm. With this being said, I'm able to boot the KVM VPS, create it, etc, but I'm unable to use the TDN templates from solusvm.

I've already downloaded 2 templates: 1 windows, 1 linux.

I've downloaded both of them to /home/solusvm/kvm/template

I've added them on solusvm as the tdn specifies (swap partition, root password, etc).

When reinstalling, the node doesn't do anything with these templates. I was expecting a sudden increase of I/O requests and cpu usage but it's not doing anything.

I also thought that I would need to decompress the templates, but I'm not getting the correct compression or the image isn't compressed at all, since I'm getting errors like:

tar: This does not look like a tar archive gunzip: linux-centos-5.9-x86_64-min-gen2-v2.gz: not in gzip format

Can anyone point me out to the right direction? Do I need to decompress them or not? Is there something that I might be missing?

Thanks!
