With the application of the PTFs for XRC timestamping (APARs VM64814 and VM64816 to start), CP will pick up the correct time and timezone (if desired) at IPL rather than having to deactivate/reactivate the LPAR. Except for I/O timestamping, CP will not otherwise pay attention to STP once he has IPLed. But even so, STP will work to keep the LPAR time in sync with the external time reference through "TOD clock steering." Just be aware that if the time reference and the LPAR time are too far apart, the steering will not be enough to fix the LPAR time in a reasonable time period.
