what do you mean with "template" ?

Sorry, I should have been specific...  Notification templates for alerting.  We've removed some of the alerts as 100 machines create an incredible amount of noise for our NOC.  We have a dedicated monitoring team, storage team, and a NOC.  The NOC really only needs to get critical alarms whereas our storage team reviews non-critical messages each day.  So I've created two alert templates, one with critical alerts that notifies our NOC and EMC and another template with all the alerts that notify EMC, our monitoring team (who tracks tickets) and our storage teams

The point is .to avoid sending non-critical alerts to the NOC. 

Now that I've committed to this I realized the herculean effort that pushing two new alert templates out to every machine is going to be...

I was hoping there was a better (faster) way to do this.

If by "template" you mean, notification and alerting templates, you can do this pretty quickly and easily via Unisphere CLI.

Let us know if that helps!

Yes, that's what I mean, I just don't know how to do it via the CLI.....

I would suggest to look at the command line reference for block VNX PDF manual - available from support.emc.com where all the other manuals and knowledgebase articles are
