UnitePathGroup Tag

The UnitePathGroup tag is used to move all external volumes from one path group to another path group. The source path group will be automatically deleted because there will be no external volume in the path group after the volumes are moved.

Write parameters are required to change the path group for this tag. Parameters must be written using the + identifier. Table 27 (page 117) shows the structure and identifier of the parameters.
