Step 11: Customize the TCP/IP profiles of the TCP/IP stacks on which ADNR and the LBA applications are to run (optional)

The TCP/IP profiles can optionally be customized to better accommodate ADNR, the Advisor, and Agents. For information about Advisor and Agent TCP/IP profile customization, see Step 5: Customize the TCP/IP profiles of the TCP/IP stacks on which the Advisor and Agents are to run (optional). You might have already performed the steps for customizing the Advisor and Agent TCP/IP profiles in Step 6: Configure the z/OS Load Balancing Advisor function.

If you use dynamic VIPAs for ADNR, you need to configure the appropriate TCP/IP profiles in the sysplex for the DVIPA definition and usage. The preferred definitions include VIPARANGE with MOVEABLE NONDISRUPTIVE. For more specific information, see Using dynamic VIPAs.

If you are using AT-TLS, you need to perform several steps to set up the z/OS® Policy Agent, enable ADNR's TCP/IP stack for AT-TLS, and so on. For more information, see Step 5: Customize the TCP/IP profiles of the TCP/IP stacks on which the Advisor and Agents are to run (optional). For ADNR, you need to customize the AT-TLS policies that are identified with the CommonTTLSConfig and TTLSConfig statements.

Tip: Because ADNR and the Agent are both client applications to the Advisor, you can define AT-TLS policy rules similar to the LBAdvisorAgentRule and the LBAgentRule for ADNR.
