Solution Type Sun Alert Sure Solution 1000286.1 : Notification to Upgrade Sun StorageTek 6920 System Firmware to Version 3.0.1.26 to Incorporate Daylight Saving Time (DST) Changes
PreviouslyPublishedAs 200401 Product Sun StorageTek 6920 System Bug Id <SUNBUG: 6500249> Date of Workaround Release 08-FEB-2007 Date of Resolved Release 14-MAR-2007 Impact The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) mandates that Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States (U.S.) start on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November starting in 2007. In 2007, the start and stop dates will be March 11 and November 4, respectively. The start date for DST in the U.S. was previously the first Sunday of April, and the end date for DST in the U.S. was previously the last Sunday of October. In 2006, the dates were the first Sunday in April (April 2, 2006) and the last Sunday in October (October 29, 2006). As a result of the above, systems in timezones that utilize Daylight Saving Time (DST) will update their clocks on March 11 2007, rather than in April. Likewise system clocks will switch back in November 2007, rather than in October. This change affects timed operations within the Sun StorageTek 6920 product. For more detailed information regarding DST, please see: http://www.sun.com/dst Contributing Factors This issue can occur on the following platforms:

Please contact your local service office or Sun Service representative to schedule an upgrade to 3.0.1.26. Modification History Date: 14-MAR-2007
