56 Storage pools

Associating template sets with a storage pool

Note: If the value of the selfsufficient policy is diskgroup or host, ISP

first looks for storage that complies with the templates that are associated with

the storage pool, and if no suitable templates are found, it then examines

templates outside the pool.

See “Volume template” on page 182.

Associating template sets with a storage pool

To associate one or more template sets, including all the templates that they

contain, with a storage pool, use the

vxpool assoctemplateset command as

shown here:

# vxpool [-g

diskgroup

] assoctemplateset

storage_pool

template_set=

ts1

ts2

,...]

For example, the following command associates the template set,

DataMirroring, with the storage pool, ReliablePool:

# vxpool -g mydg assoctemplateset ReliablePool \

template_set=DataMirroring

Note: If the value of the selfsufficient policy is diskgroup or host, ISP

first looks for storage that complies with the templates that are associated with

the storage pool, and if no suitable templates are found, it then examines

templates outside the pool.

See “Template set” on page 178.

Dissociating templates from a storage pool

To dissociate a template from a storage pool, use the following command:

# vxpool [-g

diskgroup

] distemplate

storage_pool

template=

,...]

In the following example, the PrefabricatedRaid5 template is disassociated

from the storage pool, ReliablePool:

# vxpool -g mydg distemplate ReliablePool \

template=PrefabricatedRaid5

After a template has been dissociated, ISP does not refer to the rules and

capabilities in that template unless this is permitted by the selfsufficient

policy that is set on a storage pool.
