HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Versions 8.x

Timezone Considerations
On HP-UX systems, the icapd daemon performs routine Instant Capacity software tasks on a
daily basis. A partition’s local timezone setting affects what timezone the icapd daemon uses
for the timing of these tasks, so you should ensure that the timezone is set properly to ensure
synchronization among the partitions.
Because the HP-UX icapd daemon is started by init, the /etc/default/tz file needs to
contain the desired timezone specification. By default, the timezone is set to EST5EDT. You can
specify the timezone 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 timezone settings defined by the
SYS$STARTUP:TDF$UTC_STARTUP.COM file. To view the timezone settings, use
@sys$manager:utc$time_setup “show”. Use @sys$manager:utc$time_setup and
follow the menu instructions to modify the timezone setting for the iCAP partition.
