It appears that ntp cannot be run from a local zone:

You'll find that ntp in a non-global zone doesn't actually work. This
is because adjtime(2) is restricted to the global zone.

Dear all,
I know from sol10 faq that only global zone can be as ntp server. I already tested that ntp client also work in global zone, but I fail to make ntp client work in local zone. Any idea how to sync time local zone to at least global zone or to free ntp time server
Nawir,
Zones don't each have an independent notion of time-- see the zones FAQ entry entitled "Q: Can some non-global zones have different date and/or time settings (i.e. different clocks)?"
So "zone time" is always exactly the same as "global zone time", so there is no need to run an NTP client in a zone; just run it in your global zone. One less thing to worry about.

Q: Can some non-global zones have different date and/or time settings (i.e. different clocks)?
A: Although different zones can ’be’ in different time zones, each zone gets its date and time clock from the same source. This means that the time zone setting gets applied after the current time data is obtained from the kernel.
If you would like the ability to have different clock sources per zone, please add a call record to RFE 5033497. [August 2010]

Hello,
Using AIX6.1 box.
I have UTC time value and need to convert it to local time value - I mean time zone and DST should be taken into consideration.
I hope it could be done using shell environment - I don't want to write a program.
thanks

ntp-wait(1) User Commands ntp-wait(1)
NAME
ntp-wait - Wait for ntpd to stabilize the system clock
SYNOPSIS
ntp-wait [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=| ]value]]
All arguments must be options.
DESCRIPTION
ntp-wait will send at most num-tries queries to ntpd(8), sleeping for secs-between-tries after each status return that says ntpd(8) has not
yet produced a synchronized and stable system clock.
ntp-wait will do this quietly, unless the -v flag is provided. This can be useful at boot time, to delay the boot sequence until after
ntpd -g has set the time.
OPTIONS
-n number, --tries=number
Number of times to check ntpd. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The default number for this option is:
100
The maximum number of times we will check ntpd to see if
it has been able to synchronize and stabilize the system clock.
-s secs-between-tries, --sleep=secs-between-tries
How long to sleep between tries. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The default secs-between-tries for this
option is:
6
We will sleep for secs-between-tries after each query
of ntpd that returns "the time is not yet stable".
-v, --verbose
Be verbose.
By default, ntp-wait is silent.
With this option, ntp-wait will provide status information.
-?, --help
Display usage information and exit.
-!, --more-help
Pass the extended usage information through a pager.
-v [{v|c|n --version [{v|c|n}]}]
Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and
`n' will print the full copyright notice.
EXIT STATUS
One of the following exit values will be returned:
0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)
Successful program execution.
1 (EXIT_FAILURE)
The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.
70 (EX_SOFTWARE)
libopts had an internal operational error. Please report it to autogen-users@lists.sourceforge.net. Thank you.
