What Mark said.
Setting the hardware clock (changing the TOD clock in a single
v-machine) on zSeries from Linux doesn't work that I have seen.
But you can change Linux's own sense of time on-the-fly with a
couple of tools, notably 'date' and 'ntpdate'.
A quickie on 'date':
date 12190805
immediately sets Linux's time to 8:05 AM.
ntpdate time.nist.gov
tries to get the time from "time.nist.gov".
There are numerous time sources on the Internet,
but it is always recommended that you run a few in-house
time servers and use them more often than using the outside hosts.
