Re: Timezone setting on Exadata - daylight savings time

Hi Franky,

Thanks, I did find that doc but it doesn't go into detail - especially whether it is OK to have one or two components run with another timezone than the rest of the stack. Also, I cannot find whether I need to reboot Linux after changing the /etc/localtime file to make the OS notice the change..

Cheers,

Tony

Our exadata is in that part, and set up with the local timezone, but the business itself is not. As a result the database will likely change to AEDT with the rest of the datacentre, throwing all kind of schedules in disarray as batch jobs running in Queensland will continue to run at their normal time (relative to UTC).
