I have no actual experience here. ;-( Skip, all of the LPARs should be set to UTC with TOD clock offset 0. Using TOD clock offsets is just a way to let you easily test future events today. "I've got this code that supposed to run on April 1st of every year. Will it?" To get a different *timezone* in an LPAR, you use the OS's own timezone support. While you CAN get the tz from the hardware as a default, you don't have to.
