I don't think that IBM has announced the ability for z/VM to update its clock on the fly with input from an STP/NTP service. SLES10, however, can
use an external NTP source to update its own clock (separate from the z/V M supervisor). I do this because our hobbit server will complain (softly bu t complain) when my z/VM based linux systems are 3 seconds different from t he network source that the hobbit server got its time from. /Tom Kern On Wed, 21 May 2008 11:44:28 -0500, Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >A client has just installed a z10 system, with the STP server and NTP cl ient >support enabled.
