You can learn more about updating service templates at the following address:
Modifying templates for updated resources
If you update a resource in VMM that is referenced by a service template, you'll need to copy
and update the service template to reference the newly updated resource.
To update an existing service template to use an updated resource, perform the following
steps:
1.
In the Service templates node of the Library workspace of the VMM console, locate the
service template that uses the resource that you have updated. Service templates that
utilize outdated resource have “Outdated” listed in the Update Status column.
2.
Right-click the service template and click View Updated Resources. This will display the
most up-to-date version or resources referenced by the template.
3.
Right-click the template, and select Copy And Update. The new copy will reference the
updated resources.
4.
Publish the updated template by selecting it, and in the Actions group of the VMM
Console ribbon, click Publish.
Once published, you can then apply the updated template to the deployed service. You'll
learn how to do this in the next section.
