Local time is just that, local - which means the time must adhere to the LOCAL requirement. UTC is the world wide standard time, it will not change for daylight savings.

We currently use STP to establish the time and offsets for our LPARs, so basically we are using UTC time correctly. However, the requirement may include not changing local time when daylight savings time occurs. The intent is to maintain a consistent 'displayed' time world-wide as many places do not adjust times. Using STP, the local time changes automatically and I am not aware of any way prevent it. Is anyone aware of how to accomplish this?
