I'm new...to this list and at my new job... Question about setting the clock:
Haven't IPL'd in 4 months, so tonight I'm going to IPL the production z/OS 1.7 LPAR and similar test LPAR (each a monoplex) to pick up a new SYS1.PARMLIB(CLOCK00) with a different offset to Greenwich Mean Time (7 instead of 8 for Pacific). Shutdown will quiesce everything nicely. Systems are simple, mostly CICS and MQ. And I come from more of an internals/development background, and haven't been around operations nor hardware lately. Question is: do I have to reset any secondary time of day clock that the HDC (this is some kind of Z9 with a HDC that I think runs some kind of UNIX as its embedded system??) uses for things like hardware time stamps or knowing when to "call home" or something? My point is, GMT did not change, so I don't need to change any hardware CPU TOD clock for z/OS (not like the old days when we'd set to local). But do I need to make other clock changes for the HCD part of the "hardware" itself or does it operate on GMT or something? If I need to do more, what's involved? Do I need to do some kind of power-on reset? For the LPAR or for the whole box or whole HCD? Or does IBM take care of that? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
