Creating quote templates

Quote templates may be created by using the gmkquote command. Quote templates provide a way to bundle together a package of special charge rates that can be applied to quotes, liens, and charges.

gmkquote [[--pin] [-J instance_name|job_id] | --nopin] [-s start_time] {-e end_time | -t quote_duration} [-d description] [-X, --extension property=value]... {-R charge_rate_name[{charge_rate_value}]=charge_rate_amount,...}... [--debug] [--site site_name] [--help] [--man] [--quiet] [--verbose] [--version]

Example 9-1: Creating a pinned quote template

$ gmkquote --pin -J vpc.1 -t 86400 -R

Processors=1.5/s,QualityOfService{Premium}=*1.7

Successfully created 1 quote template with id 17

Example 9-2: Creating an unpinned quote template

$ gmkquote --nopin -t 86400 -R Disk=2.5/s,License{Matlab}=4/s

Successfully created 1 quote template with id 18

Use of the gmkquote command will not result in a cost estimate or the creation of a usage record. Use gquote instead if you wish to obtain a quote for usage.
