3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4

9.4 Modifying Templates

You can modify a template at any time by adding, replacing, or removing template

parameters, regardless of whether the template has been applied to create logical disks,

virtual volumes, or common provisioning groups. When you edit a template, no changes are

made to objects you have created with that template.

9.4.1 Viewing Template Parameters

Before modifying a template it may be helpful to view the template’s existing parameters.

X To view a template’s current parameters, issue the showtemplate <template_name>

command.

If the name of the template you wish to modify is unknown, you can alternately display

templates in the system filtered by object type.

X To view templates by object type, issue the showtemplate -t <type> command, where

<type> can be VV (Virtual Volume), LD (Logical Disk), or CPG (Common Provisioning

Group).

9.4.2 Adding and Replacing Template Parameters

X To add parameters to an existing template or replace parameters in an existing template,

issue the

settemplate <option> <template_name> command, where:

 <option> includes the parameter and, if applicable, the parameter’s value that is

being added or replaced in the template. For a descriptive list of valid options that can

be applied to your template, see the

createtemplate command in the InForm OS

Command Line Interface Reference.

 <template_name> is the name of the template being modified.

9.4.3 Removing Template Parameters

X To remove parameters in an existing template, issue the settemplate -remove

command, where:

 <option> is the parameter being removed from the template. The parameters are the

options that you specified during the creation of the template. It is not necessary to

specify the parameter’s value during removal.
