9.2
Creating Templates
3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4
A property with a defined value has had a specific value assigned to it (for example, a set
size of 2). A property with an unspecified value does not have a specific value assigned to it.
When you apply a template that includes a property with one or more unspecified values,
the system will either use the default value (when applicable) or calculate the optimized
setting for you.
 For all templates, you can either allow overrides of property values or not.
When you allow overrides of a property, users can modify that property's value when
applying the template. When you do not allow overrides of a property, it is not possible to
modify the defined value, system default, or system-calculated value for that property
when applying the template.
9.2 Creating Templates
You can create three types of templates that can then be applied to create logical disks, virtual
volumes, and common provisioning groups (CPGs).
X To create a template, issue the createtemplate <obj_type> <template_name>
command, where:
 <obj_type> is the object type the template is used to create. Specify VV, LD, or CPG
for virtual volume, logical disk, or common provisioning group, respectively.
 <template_name> is the name of the template being created.
VV, LD, and CPG templates have object-specific arguments that must be specified during
creation.
Additionally, depending on the type of template you are creating, you may wish to specify
other arguments to further refine the template’s parameters. Refer to the InForm OS
Command Line Interface Reference for required and optional arguments specific to each
template object type.
