<mapper_template/> is used for creation of new <mapper/>s. Mapper templates are retrieved using “get_mapper_templates” function.



New mappers are created by submitting <mapper_template/> to Storage Module using “create_mapper” function.
Modify <properties/> tag, move at least “min_sources” <block_device/>s from <new_sources/> to <sources/>,submit <mapper_template/> using “create_mapper”, and new <mapper/> will be created.
