Abstract
Server Time Protocol (STP) is a server-wide facility that is implemented in the Licensed Internal Code (LIC) of the IBM® System z10™ , IBM System z9® , and IBM eServer™ zSeries® z990 and z890 servers. It provides improved time synchronization in a sysplex or non-sysplex configuration.
This IBM Redbooks® publication will help you configure a Mixed or STP-only Coordinated Timing Network. It is intended for technical support personnel requiring information about:
- Installing and configuring a Coordinated Timing Network
- Using STP functions and operations
- Recovering from a failed component in a Coordinated Timing Network
- Migrating to a Coordinated Timing Network from various timing environments
Readers are expected to be familiar with IBM System z® technology and terminology. For planning information, refer to our companion book, Server Time Protocol Planning Guide, SG24-7280 .
