We do it throught /etc/sysconfig/clock and haven't had any issues on any of them (130 or so). Is perhaps yast not updating that file (we don't use yast for this)

We patched all of our z/systems and when we rebooted some of them defaulted back to UTC and the time was showing off. I reset them via yast to reflect localtime and everything went well after IPL. The following (DST weekend) I patched all my systems, made sure they were reflecting localtime and now after IPL they are showing up on UTC time, but in yast their are showing up as localtime. Any ideas why some of my guests (across different lpars) boot in UTC even though they show localtime and why some of my guests never had a problem with this and always ipl into the correct hardware clock mode? Anyone else experience this problem? Could it have something to do with VM and how the guest is picking up its time on ipl?
