Manage client groups

A client group contains a group of clients running the same service. After you map a block device in the storage cluster to a client group, all the clients in the group can access the block device.

After system initialization, client group uistorHostGroup will be automatically created, and all hosts in the cluster belong to this group. This group uistorHostGroup cannot be deleted.
