Rob,
They were both started during the IPL process, set to start when TCP/IP starts.
Job 879597/QNTP/QTOTNTP started on 07/06/17 at 00:33:12 in subsystem QSYSWRK
Job 879598/QNTP/QTOTNTP started on 07/06/17 at 00:33:12 in subsystem QSYSWRK

If the jobs still exist then I would check both of their joblogs to see if they started the same way.
If they do not exist then you're down to DSPLOG for that job.
TCP has changed how many things autostart. For example an autostart job entry on one subsystem to another autostart job entry on another subsystem. If you are in the habit of restoring a subsystem from backup after an upgrade that could have some stuff start from multiple places.
For example VERY EARLY on in (like back on AS/400's) we used to do this for fear of an upgrade removing our hundreds of job queue entries on a subsystem description. However IBM does a good job of not losing these during an upgrade. But, if you've been doing so for so long that the subsystem description goes back to V1 or V2 then it cannot update the subsystem description during an upgrade (there's some little attribute there which puts a halt to it). We had to recreate it and stop restoring it after an upgrade and it's no longer been a concern.

IPL - (2) QTOTNTP server jobs active causing the issue

V7R1, Latest CUM and groups.
TCP9106 - No response received from NTP server has been occurring every 3
to 4 hours since 7/6 IPL.
The SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol Service) is running.
This is only occurring on Production LPAR.
R&D LPAR is fine.
Both LPARS configured equally, both pointed to same remote systems.
Remote system . . . . . . . . . 'us.pool.ntp.org'
+ for more values '198.60.73.8'
When checking the Production LPAR, I found that there were (2) QTOTNTP
server jobs active.
I stopped both, started one new QTOTNTP server job.
Issue resolved.
Why would an IPL have started (2) QTOTNTP server jobs?
Any thoughts from the group.
Thank You
