I have started looking at standards, processes, and procedures for our to be built z/Linux environment. I am currently interested in how folks are performing time synchronization updates? Do the guests get their time from VM / thus the system hardware, or is their clock some how managed at a software level. I suppose the time is obtained from the LPAR of which z/VM resides. If this is the case I would assume that z/VM is performing time sync operations with a reliable source. And finally, if the time is managed in this fashion are the linux guests continuously updated with the correct time or is this a once at boot thing?
