This isn't something I've seen discussed here in recent memory, but it's
something we're working on right now. The new Daylight Saving Time
rules for the US take effect this year and we're wondering if anybody
has investigated the impact to NetBackup. We've been testing our OS
patches and they appear to work, but Sun brought something to our
attention -- Java does its own DST conversion and needs to be updated.
Veritas has assured us that NetBackup will be fine as long as we have
the OS patches installed, but I'm curious about the bits done in Java.
My feeling is that the Java stuff doesn't do any date/time critical
operations and will probably be fine even if we don't update the JRE.
Any thoughts?
