Creating your file...
Beginning with ONTAP 9.3, you can create and provision an SVM by using a preconfigured template. You must provide values for the parameters that are defined in the template.
All of the required feature licenses must be installed on the cluster.
The VserverEnvironmentSetup template is the preconfigured template that you can use for configuring SVMs. The VserverEnvironmentSetup template enables you to set up the following configurations:
-
Security style, language setting, and IPspace of the SVM
-
Protocols
-
Data LIFs
-
Network routes
-
DNS configuration
-
Active Directory configuration
-
NIS configuration
-
LDAP client and server configuration
-
CIFS server
The VserverEnvironmentSetup template is a read-only template. You cannot modify the default parameter values of this template. If you want to modify the default values of any of the parameters in the template, you must copy the template, and then modify the default values of the parameters.
-
View and note down the values for the parameters that are defined in the template for creating and configuring the SVM:

If you want to modify the default value of any parameter in the template, customize the existing template:
-
Copy the template:
template copy -name template_name -destination_name new_template_name
cluster1::> template copy -name VserverEnvironmentSetup -destination-name template1
The new template is a read/write template.
-
Modify the default value of the parameter that you want to change:
template parameter modify -template template_name -name parameter_name -default-value new_default_value
cluster1::> template parameter modify -template template1 -name security_style -default-value ntfs
-
-
Provision the SVM by specifying values for the parameters in the template:
template provision -name template_name
