Close OK, so catching up on everyone else's posts, that means I need STP for:
Sysplex beyond a single CEC *Getting time from an NTP server* Clock Steering I was under the apparently mistaken impression that HMC/SE could step time to synch with the periodic dial-out, and subsequently z/OS could be stepped to synch with HMC/SE. This wasn't possible prior to STP or 9037? As mentioned you can set time automatically via dialup with the HMC, but there is no steering. On the other hand, I do NOT need STP for: Monoplex Dial-out to ETS *Acting as an NTP server to the chicken-plex* - not necessarily the best idea if no clock steering _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Arthur Gutowski Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 10:55 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: the Z/10 and timers.
