FMS9A schedules and Daylight Savings

[Troy Meyers]

The switch to Daylight Savings happened last night. Our FMS9A machine adjusted its clock, but scheduled backups are still occurring using old-time, that is, an hour later than expected. In other words, the backup that is supposed to occur while everyone is out to lunch actually happens when they return. I used Server Admin to go in to alter the schedules, but they appear to be set up correctly (they haven't changed) and Server Admin states the server time is as it should be with the DST shift.

I bet this is something simple I'm missing, but it seems like a catch-22.

You may have hit on a buglet. Close all files, stop the FMS service/daemon, and reboot. See if that clears it up.

BTW, I would report this to FMI.

Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a try.

In the mean time, I've noticed more details...

When a schedule runs, it is rescheduled properly and next time it runs it does so at the appropriate time. Some weekly schedules that hadn't come due yet are still running an hour late, but I expect they will run correctly next time, as the daily ones have begun to do.

I'll report back about close/stop/reboot.

Closing all files, stopping WPE and FMS and rebooting the machine did indeed fix all the schedules. Until I did that all the longer-term schedules were still running one hour late. Thank you!
