Enterprise Extender provides substantial flexibility by enabling you to use multiple VIPA addresses or define multiple Enterprise Extender connection networks (local or global). Fully using that flexibility frequently requires coding multiple GROUP statements in the XCA major node for EE, and specifying a number of operands, such as IPADDR, HOSTNAME, VNNAME, TGP, and so on. Given all that flexibility, you might need to modify your definitions to accommodate expanding your existing Enterprise Extender deployment.

When you want to change an Enterprise Extender GROUP statement, use the VARY INACT,ID=groupname command to deactivate the GROUP and all subordinate resources under the GROUP. Changing the values of connection network operands on the PORT statement requires deactivation of the GROUP statement identified by the VNGROUP operand.
