Creating Virtual Volumes and Logical Disks Using a Template
• To create a virtual volume and its underlying logical disks using a template, issue the createvv
-templ <template_name> <VV_name> <size> command, where:
◦ <template_name> is the name of the template being applied to the creation of the
volume and logical disks.
◦ <VV_name> is the user-designated name of the virtual volume being created.
◦ <size> is the size of the user volume.
In addition to using a template to create volumes and logical disks, you can also apply any
optional argument available for the createvv command. You can overwrite read/write
parameters in the applied template with new options at the time of creation. However, read-only
parameters in the template cannot be overwritten. Refer to the HP 3PAR InForm OS Command
Line Interface Reference for additional information.
Creating a Common Provisioning Group Using a Template
• To create a common provisioning group using a template, issue the createcpg -templ
<template_name> <CPG_name> command, where:
◦ <template_name> is the name of the template being applied to the creation of the
CPG.
◦ <CPG_name> is the user-designated name of the CPG being created.
In addition to applying a template to the creation of the CPG, you can also apply any optional
argument available for the createcpg command. Read/write parameters in the applied
template can be overwritten with new options at the time of creation. However, read-only
parameters in the template cannot be overwritten. Refer to the HP 3PAR InForm OS Command
Line Interface Reference for additional information.
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.
