Using capabilities,
templates and rules
Veritas Intelligent Storage Provisioning (ISP) provides a structured and flexible
rule-based declarative language for expressing how an application volume with
a given set of characteristics is to be configured from the available storage. The
language can be used to specify rules for allocating storage to the individual
parts of a volume, such as mirrors, columns, logs and snapshots, as well as to an
entire volume.
