# vxusertemplate -d definition_file create
To create a volume using the simplified format
1
List the ISP user templates to locate a model for creating your own volume.
# vxusertemplate list
2
Review the definitions to verify that a volume created with one does not

# vxassist -g diskgroup -p pool make volume size \
user_template=usertemplate1
