Managing host groups using SCLI

This section provides the SCLI commands that you must perform to add, modify, rename, remove, or query host groups.

This feature is allowed only using SCLI. It is not available in PowerFlex Manager.

The host group holds a subgroup of existing networks that are accessible to a group of hosts. Each host group is associated with a set of system networks. Each host may be associated with multiple host groups. By default, a host is part of the default host group until you create a new host group and associate the host to the new host group. By default, a host supports all data networks and you do not need to configure the host groups. The maximum number of host groups that are allowed per system is 1024.
