There is a point in asking for a set of virtual machines to have their own drift from the z/VM clock (which is the true TOD clock plus an LPAR offset to it). As any clock, the zSeries hardware TOD also drifts from true time. The systems that I measured were very stable wrong, so a manually adjusted drift might already be a good option. Even better would be to have one Linux guest set the pace for VM to pass to the entire set of virtual machines.
To have each Linux virtual machine learn time from talking to a bunch of remote NTP servers is a waste of time (no 00D intended).
