Administering Volume Templates and Other Configuration Elements

The VERITAS Intelligent Storage Provisioning (ISP) feature creates volumes with a set of rules or capabilities. A volume template (or template for short) is a collection of rules that provide capabilities. ISP refers to templates when creating a volume, and selects an appropriate set of templates to use based on the requested capabilities.

ISP follows certain rules when selecting templates to match a requested set of capabilities. See Volume Templates for more details. For a list of the standard templates that are provided by ISP, see Volume Templates.

The procedures in this chapter use the vxtemplate command. For full information about using this command, see the vxtemplate(1M) manual page.
