Ok, thanks!

> So far as whether older kernels are compatible with new OS Templates... again, they should be... but you didn't say what specific kernel you were using.  I'm not running any systems with the OpenVZ EL5-based kernel so I can't speak to that... but they have been keeping that updated with a release that came out today.

Hardware Node: CentOS 6 with latest OpenVZ kernel
based on Kernel branch RHEL6, 042stab093.4 and so on.

Latest version of OpenVZ based on Kernel branch RHEL7 not available yet.
So, on hardware node I must use CentOS6 and OpenVZ kernel based on RHEL6
