Validating a template
Validation of a template checks the template file for its soundness for execution and takes into
account the user inputs. Validation does not execute the template. To validate a template from a
specified area, optionally with user inputs collected from user prompts, use the template validate
command.
Syntax: template validate template_file template_area [ take-inputs ]
The template_file variable is the name of the template file to validate.
The template_area variable is the area where the template file is located. Enter pre-defined,
user-defined, or ready-to-use.
The take-inputs option initiates prompts for user inputs and then include those inputs in the
validation logic.
The Brocade Virtual ADX displays either a message that the template is valid, or a list of errors and
warnings generated from the validation of the entire template, up to 128 messages.
Executing a template
You can execute a template from a specified area, and optionally use user inputs collected from
user prompts, save the running configuration, and reboot after successful completion.
To execute the template, use the template execute command in configuration mode.
VirtualADX(config)#template execute test3.xml ready-to-use no-inputs
VirtualADX(config)#Validation of template /opt/ADX/tmpl/ready/test3.xml is
successful against the schema.
Prevalidation of template configuration is in progress ...
VirtualADX(config)#template validate Minimal.xml pre-defined take-inputs
Validation of template /opt/ADX/tmpl/predef/Minimal.xml is successful against the
schema.
