Need more than 32 initiator groups to see the same storage (VMAX 40K array). What are the CLI commands to create this scenario.

Hi,

Can I do something like this?  Create multiple child IG with 64 WWNs and then add the child IGs to the parent IG?

symaccess -sid 17 create -name child-1_IG -type initiator -consistent_lun
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn1 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn2 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn3 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn4 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn5 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn6 add
.
.
.
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn64 add

symaccess -sid 17 create -name child-2_IG -type initiator -consistent_lun
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn1 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn2 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn3 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn4 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn5 add
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn6 add
.
.
.
symaccess -sid 17 -name child-1_IG -type initiator -wwn wwn64 add

symaccess -sid 17 create -name parent_IG -type initiator -consistent_lun
symaccess -sid 17 -name parent_IG -type initiator -ig child-1_IG add
symaccess -sid 17 -name parent_IG -type initiator -ig child-2_IG add
