Is the z196 connected to an external time source (NTP/STP)? If yes, is the STP setup done properly. If no, is the hardware clock off?
Is the lpar profile created properly on the z196. I remember one time when I had the lpar profile setup wrong and the time was off when I IPLed VM. Now I can't remember what I had done wrong.

We brought a z/VM 5.4 system up on the z196 for the first time today. We noticed that the clock on the VM system was off by 4 hours and 4 minutes (showed as 7AM when it was 11:04). We did not make any changes to the TIMEZONE settings.
