Jeff, from V5R1 there is an SNTP "server" that you can set up in OpsNav - it's really an SNTP client. This will set te so-called software clock, which is not necessarily the same as the hardware clock, which is what I assume you mean by system clock.

It is possible to run a program that retrieves the software clock time and sets the hardware one from it.

Another option is an offering of IBM's ConsultLine that sets the hardware clock from an SNTP server. It used to cost $400 for an enterprise liecnse (client only at that time, 5 years ago). Information available at <http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1387cfa70bf606545862566b3006d86e7&rs=110>. It seems there is even a server pice, that allows the iSeries to be the server for the rest of your systems. There is also a piece that uses an RS-232 device to set the iSeries to Atomic Clock Time Standard

Is there any way to query one of the NIST time servers from an iSeries and
set the system time to match?
