Hi,
I am reaching out to the community regarding a problem that I have observed since SLES 9 and I wanted to reach out to see if others observe what we do. We run z/VM on local time (Eastern US) with the appropriate timezone. We setup SLES 11 (SP4) via Yast -> System -> Date and time, set the correct Region and Time Zone, and uncheck the setting that reads 'Hardware clock set to UTC'. This sets HWCLOCK="--localtime" in /etc/sysconfig/clock. However, with these settings, when Linux boots, the time is 5 hours ahead. Up to now, we have been correcting the system time after boot via NTP. I recently contacted SuSE support and for the past week, we have been trying to figure out why this is to no avail. We also tried using a kernel boot parameter clocksource=tod in conjunction with setting the option for "Hardware clock set to UTC" as checked. This seems to correct the time but clearly is not the correct settings. Would anyone care to provide some input with respect to this? Do you observe this behavior with z/VM running on local time and if so, what do you see with respect to Linux time at boot?
