Re: Timezones and TDF/daylight savings
"SYS$TIMEZONE_DAYLIGHT_SAVING" = "1"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL" = "7200"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_NAME" = "MEST"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE" = "MET-1MEST-2,M3.5.0/02,M10.4.0/03"
And the value of the sysgen parameter auto_dlight_sav.
This parameter should be set on 1 (unless you use the DTSS component of DECnet-Plus for changing the time.

Oswald

Re: Timezones and TDF/daylight savings
And since I have another question regarding this same subject I'll reuse this :)
I use NTPD to set the time on my OpenVMS 7.3-2 machines. Does the NTPD work with standard time and OpenVMS adds the +X/-X timezone? Or is it NTPD that sets the timezone options?
Quite worried since the machines didn't do it properly when it switched to summer time this year.
Best regards

Re: Timezones and TDF/daylight savings
So the UTC$TIME_SETUP has to be correct, and the system parameter auto_dlight_sav must be set to make the DST change happen.

Re: Timezones and TDF/daylight savings
So steps needed:
1) $ sysgen set auto_dlight_save 1
2) and then a batchjob 26-OCT-2008 03:05:00 that does:
$ @DSA0:[VMS$COMMON.SYSMGR]TCPIP$NTP_SHUTDOWN.COM
$ @DSA0:[VMS$COMMON.SYSMGR]TCPIP$NTP_STARTUP.COM
Then all should be nice 'n dandy? And the only issue is that it won't sync the time properly after DST change between 02.00 and 03.05?
Or is there another way of doing this that's more proper? I've seen something about using "set_vms_logicals" in the ntp configuration files but only seems to bring up pages on google concerning multinet NTP. Is there a differance in NTP clients between multinet ntp and decnet-plus ntp?

Re: Timezones and TDF/daylight savings
You didn't specify the VMS version. That makes a difference with respect to AUTO_DLIGHT_SAV parameter. It's only available on Alpha 7.3 and later and Integrity.
Changing AUTO_DLIGHT_SAV requires a reboot. Don't forget to work that into your plan before the 26th.

Re: Timezones and TDF/daylight savings
So then my options are to set the SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL logical to 3600 instead of the current 7200 and then sort out my auto_dlight_save for the next DST change?
Or can I use the set_vms_logicals option in ntp config?
