Is there any standard practice on AIX and got red book available for this issue?

    Hi,

    The xntp daemon can be started to run in the background and it can sync the aix server time
    with your defined host clock, the configuration file to define the host clock is in ntp.conf. Run smitty xntpd to configure the daemon to run at server startup. For information, please see here
