If a set of capabilities are specified for a volume during creation, ISP may find
that there are multiple sets of templates that provide the same set of capabilities.
These sets are referred to as template combinations. Some of the available template
combinations may provide additional capabilities (extraneous capabilities) to
those that were requested for the volume. By preferring not to select a different
template combination, you can avoid implicitly specifying the extraneous
capabilities. This assumes that you would request these capabilities explicitly if
you required them.
The templates that are associated with a storage pool define the characteristics
of the volumes that can be created in that pool. The selfsufficient policy of the
storage pool allows you to control whether ISP can redefine the pool definition
automatically, and, if so, to what extent.
