  • receiving from a requesting apparatus a group creation request that carries members of the group and a group type of the group;

    checking whether a member type of each member is consistent with the group type carried in the group creation request;

    determining one of the members is unreachable;

    based on determining the unreachable member, setting a consistency check flag of the group to indicate that the consistency checking is uncompleted; and

    based on determining the unreachable member, returning to the requesting apparatus a group creation response that carries the consistency check flag of the group indicating that the consistency checking is uncompleted.
