DESCRIPTION

The vxusertemplate utility provides a command line interface for the creation and administration of user-defined or user templates that may be used with the Veritas Intelligent Storage Provisioning (ISP) feature of Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM).

The operations that can be performed by vxusertemplate are selected by specifying the appropriate keyword on the command line. See the KEYWORDS section for a description of the available operations.

KEYWORDS

create: Creates one or more user templates, whose definitions can be read from a definitions file or entered on the command line.
delete: Deletes a user template.
help: Displays information on usage, keywords, options and attributes.
list: Lists all user templates.
print: Prints detailed information about one or more user templates.

OPTIONS

-d file: Specifies a file that contains user template definitions
-f: Forces an operation that is not usually allowed by vxusertemplate. This option must be specified if the user template definition differs from the existing definition in the configuration database.

EXAMPLES

Create the user templates ut1, ut2 and ut3 from the definitions in the file ut1.txt:


vxusertemplate -d ut1.txt create ut1,ut2,ut3

Delete the user template myreliabletemplate:


vxusertemplate delete myreliabletemplate

List all user templates:


vxusertemplate list

Print details of the user template mytemplate:


vxusertemplate print mytemplate

EXIT STATUS

The vxusertemplate utility exits with a non-zero status if the attempted operation fails. A non-zero exit code is not a complete indicator of the problems encountered, but rather denotes the first condition that prevented further execution of the utility.
