Examples

Example 6-128 Delete a User-Defined Cluster-Wide Template

This example shows deleting a user-defined template named T1. The template is associated with the cluster, as neither --vault or --cluster are specified, and the current working directory in the ESCLI session is the root directory. 

@> rmtemplate --name T1

Example 6-129 Delete a User-Defined Vault-Specific Template

This example shows deleting a user-defined template named T2. The template is associated with the vault named VAULT1, as neither --vault or --cluster are specified, and the current working directory in the ESCLI session is inside VAULT1. 

@VAULT1> rmtemplate --name T2

Example 6-130 Delete a User-Defined Vault-Specific Template

This example shows deleting a user-defined template named T3 that is associated with the vault named VAULT1. 

@> rmtemplate --name T3 --vault VAULT1

Example 6-131 Delete a User-Defined Cluster-Wide Template

This example shows deleting a user-defined cluster-wide template named T4. The --cluster option overrides the fact that the current working directory in the ESCLI session is inside VAULT1.
