27 Creating Templates The HP 3PAR Management Console allows you to create templates that enable you to apply a set of parameters again and again to create virtual volumes or Common Provisioning Groups (CPGs) with the same, or similar characteristics. The following general rules apply to templates: • A property can either be included in a template or not included (unincluded). Properties are Virtual Volume (VV) or Common Provisioning Group (CPG) attributes such as set size. • A property included in a template can have a defined value or have a value that is left unspecified. A property with a defined value has had a specific value assigned to it (for example, a set size of 2). A property with an unspecified value does not have a specific value assigned to it. When you apply a template that includes a property with one ore more unspecified values, the system will either use the default value (when applicable) or calculate the optimized setting for you. • For all templates, you can either allow overrides of property values, or not. When you allow overrides of a property, users can modify that property's value when applying the template. When you do not allow overrides of a property, it is not possible to modify the defined value, system default, or system-calculated value for that property when applying the template. Once you create a template, that template is saved on the system and can then be applied to create new virtual volumes or common provisioning groups.
