CreateHostVolumeGroup

Creates a new host volume-group (VG) by presenting replicated storage to an enabled host. The
replicated storage must be created in a prior host volume-group replication step in the same job.
Syntax and arguments
When initially inserted into a job, the command syntax and default arguments are:
CreateHostVolumeGroup ( %source_vg_name%, %storvol_snap_list%, %target_host% )
Source UNC Host Volume Group (%source_vg_name%). Select or enter the UNC name of a host
volume-group that has been previously replicated within the job.
Storage Volume Snap List (%storvol_snap_list%). Select the variable assigned to the previous replication
in the job or enter a list. See
