I have a question about the timers in the HMC and the CLOCKxx member. I have a single z/10 CPC with an HMC. I have 3 different LPARS running. I know I can configure the HMC to stay in sync with an NTP server. I do not however have a "Sysplex Timer". So correct me if I am wrong. Since I don't have a SYSPLEX timer, I cannot use the ETRMODE, ETRZONE, and ETRDELTA. But I can use the STPMODE, STPZONE and TIMEDELTA? Now am I correct in stating that these are only done at IPL time of the LPAR? Or does it automatically keep the time up to date if it gets out of sync with the TIMEDELTA.
Also if it is only available at IPL time, then I should be able to write an Assembler program to go get the time from the HMC and do a "SET CLOCK" command. Any help would be appreciated. Had a little fiasco on Sun. morning! ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
