This IBM® Redbooks® publication helps you install, configure, and maintain the IBM zEnterprise 196 server. The z196 offers new functions that require a comprehensive understanding of the available configuration options. This book presents configuration setup scenarios, and discusses implementation examples in detail. This book is intended for systems engineers, hardware planners, and anyone who needs to understand IBM System z® configuration and implementation. Readers should be generally familiar with current IBM System z technology and terminology. For details about the z196 server, see IBM zEnterprise System Technical Introduction, SG24-7832 and IBM zEnterprise System Technical Guide, SG24-7833.
Server Time Protocol (STP) is a server-wide facility that is implemented in the Licensed Internal Code (LIC) of IBM® zEnterprise EC12 (zEC12), IBM zEnterprise 196 (z196), IBM zEnterprise 114 (z114), IBM System z10®, and IBM System z9®. It provides improved time synchronization in both a sysplex or non-sysplex configuration. This IBM Redbooks® publication will help you configure a Mixed Coordinated Timing Network (CTN) or an STP-only CTN. It is intended for technical support personnel requiring information about: -Installing and configuring a Coordinated Timing Network -Using STP functions and operations -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, see our companion book, Server Time Protocol Planning Guide, SG24-7280. For information about how to recover your STP environment functionality, see the Server Time Protocol Recovery Guide, SG24-7380.
