G'day Listers,
When trying to ipl a CA HiDRO stand alone restore cart at a new data centre
(for VM) the ipl of the cart failed. The person in charge said this had
happened before when trying to ipl a Linux system install cart as well.
The other lpars are running MVS.

Fortunately they run a performance monitor that makes the job a bit easier.

I notice in the type 01 accounting records that there are all zeros in

If you don't use the z/VM IPL prompt to change it's LPAR'as TOD clock then
z/VM's LPAR gets its TOD clock set equal to the External Time Reference (ETR)

Hi, Ann.
If you have the 'prompt' IPL option enabled, when you first bring up CP
it asks you (prompts) for the date and time. I am unaware of any
optional piece of hardware that would allow VM to automatically set it's
clock via an accurate electronic source such as the Navy Observatory.
There isn't any "details" information like you're looking for. You
just have "q osa type hipers" to see what guests your hipersockets
subchannels are attached to, and which ones are free.

I am not sure what the options are for external timers and I think the

We currently have external timers that are somehow magically connected
