DST Effect on RHEL4.0

girishb — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 10:06:12 GMT

Hi,

We have RHEL 4.0 Server on GFS and Oracle database is running on it.

We implemented DST Patch last month successfully; and when we checked time on tghe server on April 1st 2007 it changed as per old DST standards. We had to manually change the time.

Any idea why did it happen like that?
Message file does not reveal any thing with regard to time...

Please suggest?

Shalom,

It would be helpful to know what time zone you are in.

My US based systems (Centos(rh-clone)4.4 updated with no problems after a normal yum update. My Israel based systems updated as well, so knowing what the time zone is the first step.
