Re: Couldn't start SNTP client on V5R3 270 DSD machine ?

"3.11 SNTP client changes the system clock instead of the software clock

In V5R3, the SNTP client changes the system clock instead of the
software clock. If you want to have the software clock changed, or if
you install V5R3 on a server that does not support system clock
adjustment (iSeries models 7xx, 170, and 250), you must create a data
area (*DTAARA) object named QTOTSNTP. Use the following CL command to
create this data area object:

CRTDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QTOTSNTP) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(9) VALUE(*SOFTWARE) A
UT(*USE)

To switch back to having the SNTP client change the system clock, run
the following CL command to delete the data area object:

DLTDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QTOTSNTP)"

It is at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter. I saw the V5R3 Information related SNTP, but no document related which iSeries model support system clock adjustment. My iSeries is 270 DSD model .

Any response appreciated.
