Configuring host groups
You can add, delete, or change host group settings using the [HostGroup] function tag
parameters. You can delete the settings for host group 0 (zero), but you cannot delete the host
group. If you delete all the settings for host group 0, the settings revert to the default settings.
If you delete the host group, the system deletes the WWN and path definition of that host group.
If you edit settings for a host group that is deleted in the [LUN] or [WWN] function tag, an error
will occur.
The following table lists the available definitions for the [HostGroup] function tag.

(option flags) are assigned to each ID, starting with zero (0). Every four binary bit flags are set as
a group, which is converted to a hexadecimal number that represents the host mode option.
