2. In the General group box:
a.
In the Include default value column on the left, check the appropriate boxes to include
properties in the template. The list of values for each property are listed in the Defined
default value column on the right. Include any properties for which you wish to define
specific values to be used by the template. Checking the Allow override checkbox allow
users to modify that property's value when applying the template.
b. Use the following table as a guide when choosing which properties to include:
Include in the template in order to... Property
Specify the percentage of used copy administration or copy space which results
in an alert. Allocation Warning
Set the growth increment, different than the default. The minimum growth
increment and default varies according to the number of controller nodes in the
system (see table): Growth Increment
Minimum Default # of Nodes
8GB 32GB 1-2
16GB 64GB 3-4
24GB 96GB 5-6
32GB 128GB 7-8
Set the threshold when the LD space exceeds this amount. Growth Warning
Set the threshold at which the system stops creating additional LDs to support
volumes that draw space from a CPG. Growth Limit
Set the disk type to Fast Class (FC), Nearline (NL), or Solid State (SSD). Device Type
Set the disk speed. Device RPM
NOTE: The Device RPM number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives without spinning
media (SSD). It is meant as a rough estimation of the performance difference between the drive and the
other drives in the system. For FC and NL drives, the number corresponds to both a performance measure
and actual rotational speed. For an SSD drive, the number is to be treated as relative performance benchmark
that takes into account in I/O per second, bandwidth, and the access time.
Set the VV's RAID type. RAID Type
Specify the VV's set size. Set Size

Allocation Settings
1. In the Include default value column on the left, check the appropriate boxes to include properties
in the template. The list of values for each property are listed in the Defined default value
column on the right. Include any properties for which you wish to define specific values to be
used by the template (for example, a step size of 128 KB). Checking the Allow override
checkbox allow users to modify that property's value when applying the template.
2. Use the following table as a guide when choosing which properties to include:
Include in the template in order to... Property
set the level of failure tolerance for a volume created with this template.
Choices are Cage - default, Port, Magazine. Availability
determine the number of contiguous bytes that the system accesses before
moving to the next chunklet within logical disks supporting volumes Step Size
