I thought I read that while z/os cannot get time as a NTP client, the z/10 box can with some NTP software on the HMC. That, in turn, sets the z/10 clocks and, I think, that percolates up to z/os.
There was some discussion on what was required, and I was wondering if the story had changed for the z/10, and, if so, what feature codes I needed. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jousma, David Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 3:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: the Z/10 and timers. That does not work. Covered here many times. You have to do "stuff" on your HMC to set time. z/OS cannot get time as a client. How are you getting time today? _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 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:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hal Merritt Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 3:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: the Z/10 and timers. My scenario: single box, lots of LPARs. I have no need for a SYSPLEX Timer nor do I foresee one. I am running the server and the tinkertoys look to me for their time source. I wish to run the client so that I can set my clock to a secondary or tertiary standard. This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
