has two variable parameters that specify the source and the destination:
capability HardwareReplication {

The following capability named Reliable, provides reliability by creating a
mirrored volume:
capability Reliable {
var NMIRS:int
};
Rules can also be specified to user templates, as shown in the following examples
of the templates DB_Table and DB_Index, that could be used for creating application
volumes for database tables and indexes:
user_template DB_Table {
description "Makes mirrored volume for a database table"
capability DataMirroring {
NMIRS = 2
}
rules {
confineto "VendorName"="EMC"
}
};
user_template DB_Index {
description "Makes high performance volume for a database index"
capability Striping {
NCOLS = 8
}
rules {
