Hmm, this is the first I've heard about a new DST issue. Anybody have an APAR or a link to more information?

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 The BCI Email Firewall made the following annotations --------------------------------------------------------------------- *Confidentiality Notice: This E-Mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
