Chuck, the System Config is only read at boot-time. At MSU, we IPL weekly (on Sunday night), so it takes effect at that time. We also issue the CP SET TIMEZONE command at the actual time-change using the VMUTIL service machine via WAKEUP).
Not all products/guests handle the time-change properly however. VM:Backup requires a restart. I believe that SFS may as well. Before you institute an "on-the-fly" TZ change, check your apps and guests to ensure that they do not crash. >Being new to z/VM, I was wondering what most users do for the time >change?
