Description

rcxadm template is the command used to perform operations on L-Server templates. L-Server templates define the values such as the number of CPUs, memory capacity, and disk capacity that comprise an L-Server. Using an L-Server template enables easy creation of L-Servers.

Subcommands

import: Imports the L-Server template defined in an XML file.

list

Displays a list of the L-Server templates that can be accessed. Using the -verbose option also displays information regarding the redundancy configuration and operation location.

The following detailed information is displayed:
