Oops, to answer your question about automatic time change... VM does
not change the time automatically, nor would you want it to. VM does
keep timezone boundary information in the SYSTEM CONFIG file. It tells
VM when a certain timezone should be activated. This takes affect at
IPL time. So if you IPL after 2AM on Sunday (assuming you haven't
changed the times), you will 'automatically' be in CST.

We run z/vm 4.4 to host 3 VSE's 2.7.3. When we change
time on sunday we shutdown the system and then I go to
our HMC console and select the Imange I want to load
and click on Load. It then prompts me at the VM
console with a question about changing the time. I
select Yes and Continue on.
Is this the best way to change the TOD???
Shouldn't z/VM automatically handle the TOD change???
Second question: How can I change the TOD without
taking the system offline???
