FORCE
If an existing group has a status of PRESNAP or ACTIVATE, then FORCE(YES) is required to replace the group definition. This setting prevents a group from being redefined while in use. A redefinition of a group in use could impact the relationship or status of existing devices in the group. If a group has the status of INITIAL, POSTSNAP, or FAILED, the FORCE parameter is not required.
The FORCE parameter can be specified on the DEFINE GROUP and DELETE GROUP commands.
