IEA265I   UNABLE TO SYNC TOD CLOCKS TO timesource CPC CONTINUES IN LOCAL MODE.

Explanation

The central processing complex (CPC) could not synchronize with the time source. This can be an External Time Reference (ETR) or Server Time Protocol (STP). This occurred for one of the following reasons:
  • A hardware error occurred.
  • The time difference between the time source (ETR or STP) and time-of-day (TOD) clocks exceeded the ETRDELTA or TIMEDELTA value in a CLOCKxx parmlib member.
ETR is the MVS™ generic name for the IBM® Sysplex Timer (9037) or equivalent.
In the message text:
timesource
Can be one of the following:
  • ETR, for a system in ETR timing mode.
  • STP, for a system in STP timing mode.

System action

The system continues processing in local synchronization mode. The system records the error in the logrec data set.

Operator response

While the system may continue to operate, the installation is running in a condition where a single point of failure exposure exists; a primary and backup configuration does not exist and an additional failure could result in a sysplex outage. Contact your configuration/cabling personnel and have the configuration error corrected. If necessary, contact IBM if the condition cannot be cleared by your personnel. Check to ensure that the single point of failure condition has been corrected by issuing DISPLAY ETR.
