Sun Ultra 5 DST firmware update required?
Hi,Does anybody know if the Sun Ultra 5 requires a firmware update for the DST timezone change? I'm guessing not and only solaris patches required.Thanks!!

Hello.
The system clock on Sun machines runs in UTC time.
It's libc.so and the time configuration files which are responsible for the local time (translating UTC to local time and vice versa). Therefore libc.so does DST, too.
This means: No firmware update is required for time zones and DST, only OS updates!

Thanks, u rock!! By the way, there are some Sun machines that need system controller patches like the enterprise 1000... see http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hubs/dst/systems/
