Changing Path Group

The DividePathGroup tag is used to move an external volume from an existing path group to a
new path group.
The UnitePathGroup tag is used to move all external volumes from one path group to another path
group.
DividePathGroup Tag
Use the DividePathGroup tag to move an external volume from an existing path group to a new
path group. If no external volume remains in the source path group after the move, the group is
automatically deleted.
The DevicePathGroup tag allows you to move an external volume only to a new path group. To
move an external volume to an existing path group, first use DevicePathGroup to move the volume
to a new path group, and then use the UnitePathGroup tag to move the volume from the new path
group to an existing path group. For more information about UnitePathGroup tag, see
"UnitePathGroup Tag" (page
Write parameters are required to change the path group. Parameters must be written using the +
