   Answer is 1 –

   The following rules apply to initiator groups:
   1. An individual initiator can only belong to one Initiator Group. However, once the initiator is in a group, the group can be a member in another initiator group. It can be grouped within a group. This feature is called cascaded initiator groups and is only allowed to a cascaded level of one.
   2. An initiator group is a container of one or more host initiators (Fibre or iSCSI). Each initiator group can contain up to 32 entries.
   3. An HBA may have masking views for both an upper and lower group if cascaded.
   4. There is a limit of eight thousand one hundred ninety-two, (8,192) initiator groups in a Symmetrix VMAX array.

      Add a child Initiator Group(Host2_IG) to the parent Initiator Group(Host1_Host2_IG).

      symaccess -sid 1234 -type initiator -name Host1_Host2_IG add -ig Host2_IG

      is called cascading
