  • 1.  AIX 6.1 Time Zone, Dailight Saving Changes issue.

    Hi,
    We have AIX6.1 latest SP, Time Zone is set correct but after the change of the clock it did not get updated on that box (i.e. jump 1 hour forward). The time zone is GMT+2/GMT+3 (i assume +3 is for the daylight saving change). Anyone knows if there are issues with that? Or how do I fix it? I can change the time to +1 hour manualy but the xntpd stops working since the difference in the time of the NTP server and the host is too big...and it crashes. That NTP server works fine with 5.3 boxes, so I guess it's not the NTP.

    There is a bug in AIX 6.1 SP3. In my case I was able to manually set the timezone to EST5EDT instead of America/New_York and that fixed the problem. (chtz EST5EDT)
    You may be able to do the same with your timezone. If not, shutdown xntpd, manually change the time, then startup xntpd again.

    Timezone bug should be fixed in next service pack.
