Solution

Overview:

The new US Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes for 2007 may affect Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) Graphical User interface (GUI). The time sensitive information like time shown in events/notifications will be shown incorrectly by 1 hour during Daylight Saving Time period.

Therefore, to address the impact of the DST 2007 changes, JRE have been updated with "DST time zone updater" tool. To make this changes effective, the operating system on which VEA server (managed by VEA GUI) is installed must be in compliance with DST changes 2007. Refer to operating system vendor's web site for more information.

1) Download the attached package (1069764_290848.exe) and extract to a temporary folder.

2) Execute the VRTSobgui.msi to install the package.

3) See the Readme.txt for more information.
