    Hi Phillip, thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you'd like to reduce errors reported when those clusters loose links to the time server? You can now customize the reporting using event notification log tuning in R4.1.2. The T7700 grid will keep in sync internally without issues. Please feel free to reach out to me directly to discuss further. My name is Addie Richards, I'm the TS7700 Offering manager. My email is - addie@us.ibm.com

    I'll make sure we get the right people involved to help. Thanks.
