Hi.......

Yes, we received the DST notification for AIX V6/V7 late Friday, 2 March 2012.  
Our AIX consultant had us use the Olsen environment and we re-booted our AIX 
V6.1 servers.  Since we are late on AIX migration from AIX v5.3.12.3 to AIX 
v6.1.7.1/3, we only had six AIX servers to modify.  Two of them are TSM systems 
(PROD & TEST).  BTW, the notification said to re-boot AIX servers by midnight 6 
March 2012 for the DST fix to work!!!

Our AIX V6.1 servers shows:

# echo $TZ
America/Chicago

Subject: [ADSM-L] AIX DST patch: anyone else apply?

Folks:
  A little late, but we are curious.

  We are running 10 TSM servers (v6.2.3.0) on 2 IBM Power 550s running AIX
6.1 TL7 SP1. 

  Over the weekend, we got notified of a bug in the DST processing
(apparently introduced via a coding change in the last year).  After
considerable head scratching, we decided to apply the eFix because we had
no way to verify/guarantee that all of our applications were using the
default TZ (which was "EST5EDT" - not a custom value, and thus not at risk
from the bug).

  Did other see this alert and chose to apply?  Or ignore?
