I thought I read that while z/os cannot get time as a NTP client, the
z/10 box can with some NTP software on the HMC. That, in turn, sets the
z/10 clocks and, I think, that percolates up to z/os.
There was some discussion on what was required, and I was wondering if
the story had changed for the z/10, and, if so, what feature codes I
needed.
it's still STP that you need... why not have a look at the redbook.
Server Time Protocol Implementation Guide, SG24-7281-01 (latest draft)

The NTP ability of STP (via the SE) is a version 2 (or is it v3?? ) enhancment to STP.. but bottom
line is you still need either Sysplex timer or STP to sync any zSeries to external time source
