Dell PowerFlex 4.5.x Administration Guide

Edit a template

You can edit an existing template to change its draft state to "published" for deployment or to modify its components and their properties.

1. On the menu bar, click Templates.
2. Open a template, and click Modify Template.
3. Make changes as required to the settings for components within the template.

   Based on the component type, required settings and properties are displayed automatically. You can edit these settings by performing these steps:

   PowerFlex Manager facilitates sending the active RCM version to the Data Items portal. The compliance file includes the RCM and intelligent catalog (IC). When multiple resource groups run on different compliance files besides the default PowerFlex Manager compliance file, all the active and default RCM and IC versions are sent to the Data Items portal. If PowerFlex Manager is not managing any resource groups, then the default RCM of PowerFlex Manager is sent to the data items section of the Embedded SupportAssist Enabler. By default, this information is sent every Saturday at 02:00 AM UTC.

   NOTE:If an RCM associated with the template is modified, a wrench icon with the text, Modified, is displayed. However, if the update file is moved or deleted, the wrench icon with the text, Needs Attention, is displayed.
