Steps for configuring automated domain name registration

The automated domain name registration (ADNR) application dynamically updates name servers with information about sysplex resources. Detail for each step is provided in the corresponding subtopic.

Perform the following steps to configure the automated domain name registration (ADNR) application.

1. Decide which sysplex resources should be managed by ADNR.
2. Decide on one or more domain names to be managed by ADNR.
3. Decide which name server or name servers are to be managed by ADNR.
4. Configure the selected name servers to be the primary master name servers for the domain names that ADNR is to manage.
5. Delegate the domain names to be managed by ADNR to the selected name servers from the parent domain's name server.
6. Configure the z/OS® Load Balancing Advisor (LBA) function.
7. Define security server profiles for ADNR.
8. Configure ADNR to automatically restart in case of application or system failure. (optional)
9. Configure and start syslogd. (optional, but required to have ADNR write log messages and trace data to syslogd)
10. Configure one ADNR application per sysplex.
11. Customize the TCP/IP profiles of the TCP/IP stacks on which ADNR and the LBA applications are to run. (optional)
12. Start the TCP/IP stacks on which ADNR and the LBA applications are to run.
13. Start the z/OS Load Balancing Advisor and Agent.
14. Start the target applications that are to be managed by ADNR.
15. Start the ADNR application.
16. Verify that the ADNR system is functioning correctly. (optional)
