Dave, The 9037 Model 1 was withdrawn from Marketing 02/03/1997 & withdrawn from Support 12/31/2003. The 9037 Model 2 was withdrawn from Marketing 12/31/2006 however, no date has been announced for the withdraw of Support.
We have been looking into STP for awhile. We have found alot of planning information in the Redbook: "Server Time Protocol Planning Guide" SG24-7280. Regarding the ETS ( External Time Source ) question, we have found so far: If you are running in a "Mixed CTN" environment ( 9037s & STP ), the ETS ( External Time Source ) call out would still be done by the 9037s. If you run in a "STP-only CTN" environment, then the ETS call out would be done by your zSeries HMC. However, the gradual adjustment to the CST ( Coordinated Server Time ) is done by the Support Element.
