Associating Template Sets with a Storage Pool

Associating Template Sets with a Storage Pool
To associate one or more template sets, including all the templates that they contain, with a storage
pool, use the vxpool assoctemplateset command as shown here:
# vxpool [-g diskgroup] assoctemplateset storage_pool \
template_set=ts1[,ts2,...]
For example, the following command associates the template set, DataMirroring, with the
storage pool, ReliablePool:
# vxpool -g mydg assoctemplateset ReliablePool \
template_set=DataMirroring
Note If the value of the selfsufficient policy is diskgroup or host, ISP first looks for
storage that complies with the templates that are associated with the storage pool, and if no
suitable templates are found, it then examines templates outside the pool.
For a list of supported template sets, see “Template Sets” on page 156.
Dissociating Templates from a Storage Pool
To dissociate a template from the storage pool, use the following command:
# vxpool [-g diskgroup] distemplate storage_pool \
template=t1[,t2,...]
In the following example, the PrefabricatedRaid5 template is disassociated from the storage
pool, ReliablePool:
# vxpool -g mydg distemplate ReliablePool \
template=PrefabricatedRaid5
After a template has been dissociated, Storage Allocator does not refer to the rules and capabilities
in that template unless this is permitted by the selfsufficient policy that is set on a storage
pool.
