System displays incorrect time zone for the default zone

While switching from daylight saving-time to the standard time, or from standard time to daylight-saving time, the system might display the time zone as US/Pacific-New for the default zone, irrespective of the time zone that you configure in the system.

Proposed Solution 1: Changing the localtime information

Procedure

Select your country, from /usr/share/zoneinfo.

Note:

Depending on the distribution of the system, the location of zoneinfo might vary.
Use the command $ ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/your time zone /etc/localtime to link localtime to your city or to any city in your time zone, where your time zone is the time zone you want to configure. For example, US/Pacific.

Proposed Solution 2: Setting the TZ environment variable

Procedure

In the /etc/profile.d directory, create a shell script with the command export TZ= “your time zone”, where your time zone is the time zone you want to configure. For example, US/Pacific.

Note:

If your system does not support the /etc/profile.d directory, add the export TZ command to the /etc/profile initialization script.
Restart the vpms service by entering the /sbin/service vpms restart command.

	Note:
	Depending on the distribution of the system, the location of zoneinfo might vary.

	Note:
	If your system does not support the /etc/profile.d directory, add the `export TZ` command to the `/etc/profile` initialization script.
