apply
The apply rule is used to apply rules from one or more specified templates in
addition to the rules that appear in the current template. This rule acts recursively
if the specified templates also use apply in their rules sections. The capabilities
of any referenced templates are not used.

operator for this keyword is eachof.
The following examples demonstrate the application of the apply rule:
■ The following example applies the rules but not the capabilities from the
template ArrayProductId to a compound rule within the template

volume_template PrefabricatedDataMirroring {
provides PrefabricatedDataMirroring
rules {
apply ArrayProductId
confineto eachof ( "Redundancy" =nmirs , "Parity" ="0" )
}
};
volume_template ArrayProductId {
