See “Creating a storage pool” on page 51.
A storage pool's selfsufficient policy governs whether configuration elements
can be installed automatically from the ISP Configuration Database as required.
If the policy is set to host, elements are available to the pool from the ISP
Configuration Database, from the disk group and from the pool itself. If the policy
is set to diskgroup, the pool can install additional elements from the disk group,
but not from the ISP Configuration Database. A policy value of pool means that
only elements that are installed in the pool can be used. If required, you can use
the vxtemplate command to install templates, capabilities and template sets from
the ISP Configuration Database into disk groups and pools.
Template sets are convenient for installing many capabilities and templates in a
single operation.
The following example shows how to install all the capabilities and templates
from the template set, DataMirroring, into a storage pool, mypool, and its disk
group, mydg:
# vxtemplate -g mydg -P mypool install
template_set=DataMirroring
This is equivalent to using the following (very long) command:
# vxtemplate -r -g mydg -P mypool install \
template=DataMirroring,ArrayProductId,\
ConfineLogsToSimilarStorage,\
ConfineMirrorsToSimilarStorage,DCOLogMirroring,\
InstantSnapshottable,LogsOnSeparateComponents,\
MirrorsOnSeparateComponents
Listing and printing configuration elements
Use the following command to list the templates and capabilities that are
associated with a specified disk group and/or storage pool.
# vxtemplate [-g diskgroup] [-P pool] list
This command may display the following.results:
