Given the environment, I don't understand how the GMT can be different
on *this* processor from the others.
Are we talking MVS or Unix System Services here? One LPAR or many?
Sysplex?
AFAIK, using STP, the HW clocks on *ALL* processors are presumably:
a) At the same time (give or take a *very* few seconds).
b) Set to GMT time.
On the z/OS side look at SYS1.PARMLIB(CLOCKxx) for that particular LPAR
and set the appropriate TIMEZONE= for that LPAR
On the OMVS (USS - See above) side. Look at /etc/initoptions,
/etc/profile, /etc/rc, and set the correct TZ environment variable;
e.g. TZ=CST6CDT
export $TZ
The USS "date" command will return the local time based on the HW clock
plus/minus the TZ environment variable.
HTH,

We have three processors all syncing their time via STP protocols. One
of our clients (still zOS 1.9) is in Pacific Time while we're set to
Eastern time. Ever since they've been hosted here we've adjusted their
local time using a three hour offset on their lpar definition, however
their system isn't showing correct GMT time.
snippage...
If anyone is doing this and can share recommendations I'd appreciate it.
