Sounds like you need to make a change to your VM SYSTEM CONFIG file
(Normally on MAINT CF1 and CF2).
First off you need to find a couple of statements like this:
/**********************************************************************/
/* Timezone Definitions */
/**********************************************************************/
Timezone_Definition EDT West 04.00.00 /* EDT is West 4 from UTC */
Timezone_Definition EST West 05.00.00 /* EST is West 5 from UTC */
And change them to suit your needs.
Also look for these statements:
TimeZone_Boundary on 2004-04-04 at 02:00:00 to EDT
TimeZone_Boundary on 2004-10-31 at 02:00:00 to EST
TimeZone_Boundary on 2005-04-03 at 02:00:00 to EDT
TimeZone_Boundary on 2005-10-30 at 02:00:00 to EST
And make sure they reflect your reality.
IPL VM, and you should be happy.
If you need VM to handle users in multiple time zones, each seeing their own
time, check the VM list archives. I think it has been discussed there.

This is my problem.
VM is showing mountain time. But we need PST/PDT. This is something I can
do with 'ntp' on Linux.

You cannot use an NTP client to sync VM's time to an external server. VM
was
never designed to have its time adjusted at anytime other than IPL. That
said, I have tried it on a second-level test system, and VM did survive
the
time change, but it is doubtful whether a system with anything useful
running on it would.
There are NTP servers available to allow clients to sync to VM's time.

Subject: Clock setting in VM
Is it possible to run 'ntpd' in z/VM to sync time? The z/VM clock setting
uses the hardware clock which gave me problems with our Linux LPAR.
Linux guests are running 'ntpd' to sync time and it works beautifully.
All this because our hardware is in CO and we are in CA and we need the
time set to PST/PDT.
