   Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| Key | Returned | Description | 
|---|---|---|
|  clusterRef  string   |  always except when state is absent |   The unique identification value for this object. Other objects may use this reference value to refer to the cluster.  Sample:  3233343536373839303132333100000000000000   |  
|  confirmLUNMappingCreation  boolean   |  always |   If true, indicates that creation of LUN-to-volume mappings should require careful confirmation from the end-user, since such a mapping will alter the volume access rights of other clusters, in addition to this one.   |  
|  hosts  list   |  always except when state is absent |   A list of the hosts that are part of the host group after all operations.  Sample:  ['HostA', 'HostB']   |  
|  id  string   |  always except when state is absent |   The id number of the hostgroup  Sample:  3233343536373839303132333100000000000000   |  
|  isSAControlled  boolean   |  always except when state is absent |   If true, indicates that I/O accesses from this cluster are subject to the storage array's default LUN-to-volume mappings. If false, indicates that I/O accesses from the cluster are subject to cluster-specific LUN-to-volume mappings.   |  
|  label  string   |  always |   The user-assigned, descriptive label string for the cluster.  Sample:  MyHostGroup   |  
|  name  string   |  always except when state is absent |   same as label  Sample:  MyHostGroup   |  
|  protectionInformationCapableAccessMethod  boolean   |  always except when state is absent |   This field is true if the host has a PI capable access method.  Sample:  True   |
