RE: Changing the system clock this weekend...

Kirk - In the past we have powered off the system for 1 hour and manually 
IPLed, setting the correct time during the IPL and then we changed the UTC 
Offset from -7 to -8 ... If we didn't change the UTC Offset, then our iSeries 
Navigator Management Central monitors were always an hour off ....

I guess we will do the same this year. We will disable any automatic DST/PST 
time processes on the system and make time changes manually. However, I noticed 
we can't change the system value QUTCOFFSET manually any more, so we will just 
make sure we set the QTIMZON system value correctly during the IPL ...

Ken,

What have you done in the past before your i5? You could always set the 
QTIMZON to the non-auto adjust version for PST of 'QN0800UTCS' and then do 
what you did all the years before.  If I remember correctly applications 
like MQ should be shutdown just before 1am and then restarted after the 
clock has been reset.

Better yet schedule a nice long maintenance around those hours... :)
