xntpd
You can search the forums for ntp and find
lots of good information.

man xntpd

HP-UX systems have the xntpd daemon and xntp facility to sync clocks together.
You can use SAM to set these up, els as above, use the man pages.

Hi Chris:

You can use NTP. It's part of HP-UX.

There's a good guide to setting up NTP in "Installing and Administering Internet Services" here:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90685/B2355-90685.html

For a list of available time sources, see:

http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1.htm
If you wish to merely synchronize locally take a look at Knowledge Base document #A5864817. You can use one of your servers as a "master" clock for the remaining ones without going outside of your local network.
