Creating volumes by specifying user templates

Once you have set them up, user templates provide the simplest way of creating volumes for use with the applications that you run. For example, you can configure user templates that ensure that volumes that you create to store database tables all share the same reliability and performance capabilities, and that they are allocated from a restricted set of storage.

The following example shows how to use a user template to create a volume for a database table:

# vxassist -g dbdg -P dgpool make Customers 15g \

  user_template=DBTable
