Re: Date/Time different between AIX and TSM problem
Yes, I did. And it doesn't help this particular problem. As noted in the syntax, you have to enter the start date and end date for DST. That's a manual change, since the actual start and end dates for DST are different every year. Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to tell it to switch to DST on the second Sunday in March and switch back on the first Sunday in November.

You mean, like: EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0 ? Take a closer look at the last box in that IBM document. The spec is based upon relative week numbering.

Date/Time different between AIX and TSM problem
AIX 6.1 on a Power6 p520 TSM 5.5 server When I issue the AIX date command: # date Thu Apr 3 11:12:55 EDT 2008 And the TZ variable: TZ=America/New_York But then a SHOW TIME command in TSM gives me a 5-hour difference.. tsm: BETHDTCTSM01show time Current Date and Time on the Server 04/03/08 16:12:34 UTC (GMT) Date/Time is: 04/03/08 15:12:34 Last Noted Date/Time is: 04/03/08 16:12:30 Daylight Savings Time is in effect: YES I've verified that the date/time is correct in SMITTY and have the correct timezone specified. Even rebooted the server. Why are my times off?? Any ideas/solutions??? Please??? Biill Boyer

Bill, Different platform, but we exhibited the same problem when we moved to 5.5 on z/OS. The time zone setting on the version we are running (we aren't running the base code, having had several different APARs applied [AK59448] is the latest) doesn't work, so on spring forward Sunday our time was an hour off.

Re: Date/Time different between AIX and TSM problem
Compare date -u output on a few systems to be sure your system clock isn't incorrectly set. Often, wall time looks correct, even when the offset and system clock are wrong.

Re: Date/Time different between AIX and TSM problem
Did a date -u on 3 separate TSM AIX servers. All 3 had the same values and on the AIX 5.3 servers TSM had the correct time. It's just this new AIX 6.1 and TSM 5.5 server where TSM has the wrong date. I didn't want to go with AIX6.1 because only TSM 5.5 is supported on that platform. But the p520 was ordered with AIX6.1 and we weren't able to get any AIX5.3 ML7 installation media to do a re-install. And time was short...this box had to get up and running PDQ. I have a PMR open with support and their first recommendation was do run an ACCEPT DATE. I did it anyway with no changes. TSM wasn't complaining about the date being off. He's just going along fat, dumb and happy...just 5 hours from now! :-) Bill Boyer -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Clark Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 1:36 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Date/Time different between AIX and TSM problem Compare date -u output on a few systems to be sure your system clock isn't incorrectly set.
