According to the Redbook I mentioned, each STP-capable CEC and CF must have the STP feature code 1021 installed. This feature code is a chargable feature. Your local IBM office would be able to provide you with a price quote. The book mentions that you should have the lastest microcode MCLs installed before you install the STP feature on the CECs and CFs. However before all of that work, you should probally have the HMCs upgraded to level 2.9.1 just to be safe. This upgrade appears to be a non-chargeable feature. There is a warning that after the HMC upgrade, the 'older' mainframe servers ( some 9672s and MP2000/MP3000 ) would not be manageable by that upgraded HMC. Since the ETS call out function of the STP feature uses the HMC you should already have the modem/phone line available ( does anyone run all their HMCs without a modem/phone line, just curious ).
