Veritas Storage Foundation Intelligent Storage Provisioning 5.0.1 Solutions Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, November 2009

If required, define the capabilities, rules and templates that are required to

express the storage services that are to be provided by each tier. For example,

you can create new volume templates that associate the correct tier tag for

the class of storage that is used. The following is an example of such a template

definition:

volume_template SilverStorage {

extends DataMirroringPrefabricatedStriping

rules {

tag "tier"="silver"

confineto "cost"="silver"

}

};

Use the vxtemplate command to install your template definition file in the

ISP configuration database:

# vxtemplate -C -d dst_template_file install

Use the vxpool command to associate your templates and any others that

you require with the storage pool, as shown in this example.

# vxpool -g mydg assoctemplate dstpool \

template=GoldStorage,SilverStorage,BronzeStorage
