Hi....... Yes, we received the DST notification for AIX V6/V7 late Friday, 2 March 2012. Our AIX consultant had us use the Olsen environment and we re-booted our AIX V6.1 servers. Since we are late on AIX migration from AIX v5.3.12.3 to AIX v6.1.7.1/3, we only had six AIX servers to modify. Two of them are TSM systems (PROD & TEST). BTW, the notification said to re-boot AIX servers by midnight 6 March 2012 for the DST fix to work!!!
Our AIX V6.1 servers shows: # echo $TZ America/Chicago -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Robert Talda Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2012 10:51 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] AIX DST patch: anyone else apply? Folks: A little late, but we are curious. We are running 10 TSM servers (v6.2.3.0) on 2 IBM Power 550s running AIX 6.1 TL7 SP1. Over the weekend, we got notified of a bug in the DST processing (apparently introduced via a coding change in the last year). After considerable head scratching, we decided to apply the eFix because we had no way to verify/guarantee that all of our applications were using the default TZ (which was "EST5EDT" - not a custom value, and thus not at risk from the bug). Did other see this alert and chose to apply? Or ignore? ---- Robert Talda EZ-Backup Team, CIT/Systems & Operations Cornell University r...@cornell.edu 607-255-8280
