Step 13: Start the z/OS Load Balancing Advisor and Agent

You can start the z/OS® Load Balancing Advisor and Agents before or after you start ADNR. If you start ADNR before you start the Advisor, an eventual action message, EZD1272E, is displayed until the Advisor is active and a connection is successful. When a successful connection is established, ADNR issues message EZD1270I, and the Advisor issues message EZD1263I indicating that a load balancer connected. At the same time, the eventual action message is converted to a non-action message (DOMed). If Agents were not active at the time that ADNR and the Advisor established a connection, Agents report on any ADNR-registered resources that the Agent owns when the Agent becomes active. ADNR updates its name servers with that information at that time.
