HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Version 9.x

2.12 Time Zone Considerations
On HP-UX systems, the icapd daemon performs routine Instant Capacity software tasks on a
daily basis. A partition’s local time zone setting affects what time zone the icapd daemon uses
for the timing of these tasks Be sure that the time zone is set properly to ensure synchronization
among the partitions.
Because the HP-UX icapd daemon is started by init, the /etc/default/tz file must contain
the desired time zone specification. By default, the time zone is set to EST5EDT. You can specify
the time zone the icapd daemon uses to interpret noon and midnight by modifying the entry
in the /etc/default/tz file.
On OpenVMS systems, the ICAP_SERVER uses the time zone settings defined by the
SYS$STARTUP:TDF$UTC_STARTUP.COM file. To view the time zone settings, enter the command
@sys$manager:utc$time_setup show. Enter the command
@sys$manager:utc$time_setup and follow the menu instructions to modify the time zone
setting for the iCAP partition.
