Exactly. STP is the only function that I know of (other than the old Sysplex Timer) that can keep the clock accurate. We are currently using it with two CECs, but we will be getting rid of one CEC in the near future. I can't see any way that I can keep my clock accurate without STP. PORs are few and far between these days, far too much clock drift can occur during that time.

So, we're in sync at POR time. But then what? Is there something that "steers" our z10's TOD clock to re-sync with the HMC each day after it gets updated?
