You don't NEED two timers unless you have a requirement for fault tolerance within a sysplex environment. If I remember correctly, you need at least one in a sysplex environment. What happens if it dies is better left to someone who knows. We aren't sysplex and can deal with the headaches if our single timer dies, which basically means you fall back to the old method of relying on the internal clocks only with no synchronization to the outside world. After reading Timothy's last comment though, it reads like the new steering mechanism will go through the HMC. And Radoslaw states that the software to do it isn't free. It's time to make an appointment with the manuals again. Has anyone actually done this and can state for certain what is involved ??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
