AIX O/S Updated to Support New Daylight Savings Time Change


The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58) was passed
by the United States Congress on July 29, 2005 and signed into
law on August 8, 2005. This law changes the time-change dates
for Daylight Saving Time in the United States. Beginning
in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March and
end on the first Sunday of November.

IBM has released updates to AIX 5L operating systems to
support this change. The updates should be applied prior
to March 11, 2007.

AIX 5L Version 5.3
IBM recommends installing Technology Level 4 or later.
The update is also available as a specific fix by installing
the fix for APAR IY75211
Filesets: bos.rte.libc.5.3.0.40 and bos.adt.prof.5.3.0.40

AIX 5L Version 5.2
IBM recommends installing Technology Level 8 or later.
The update is also available as a specific fix by installing
the fix for APAR IY75213
Filesets: bos.rte.libc.5.2.0.85 and bos.adt.prof.5.2.0.85

AIX 5L Version 5.1
The update is available as a specific fix by installing the fix
for APAR IY75214
Filesets: bos.rte.libc.5.1.0.70 and bos.adt.prof.5.1.0.70

Hello,

This weekend is daylight savings time and it's the last daylight savings
time that will be changed on the first Sunday morning of April. Starting
next year, daylight savings will be observed some time in mid March.

I was wondering if any of you knew of which maintenance level will include
this fix?

Oh, and IBM is calling maintenance levels technology levels as of AIX 5.3
ml4 right? I'm just wondering what/when/if this new naming convention will
go into place.

Thanks,

Drew
