Hi all...
We have a Linux image (SLES 8 under z/VM 4.4) that has a time/date
problem. The system hardware clock on the processor runs LOCAL time; the
timezone offsets in the SYSTEM CONFIG file are zero; and the VM time is
correct -- local time. When installing SLES 8, the user specified the
correct timezone (US/Mountain) and that the hardware clock was running
local time. But the time displayed after installation is 7 hours off.
We've double checked that the hardware clock is local time; the VM offsets
are zero; and that SLES 8 was installed specifying that the hardware clock
was local time. But the time is still wrong.
Poking around it seems that /etc/sysconfig/clock seems like it would
control that. Ours said:
HWCLOCK="--localtime"
TIMEZONE="US/Mountain"
But changing to HWCLOCK="-u" (based on the comments in the file) made no
difference, even after rebooting...
1) Short of reinstalling from scratch, is there somewhere else to change
the clock offset?
2) Any thoughts why specifying that the hardware clock was on local time
"didn't work" as expected?
Thanks for any thoughts...
