Disabling VLB Agents for a cluster means that Equalizer will no longer query the VMware virtual machine manager
for status information for virtual machines associated with servers in that cluster. Traffic to the cluster is still load
balanced across all servers associated with VMware virtual machines
without the VLB Agent return value. Smart
Rules defined for the cluster that use VLB-specific functions to query VMware will continue to be executed. You
can still also add servers and associate virtual machines with them, as long as the VMware login information on the
VLB
tab is correct (see “Enabling Equalizer VLB” on page 296).
