Timezone for 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure


Grid Time Zone Setting

Once OS default timezone is changed, make sure:

1. For 11.2.0.1, shell environment variable TZ is set correctly for grid user and root.
2. For 11.2.0.2 and above, TZ entry in $GRID_HOME/crs/install/s_crsconfig_<nodename>_env.txt sets to correct time zone.

Once both are verified, Grid can be restarted with new timezone.

For pre-11.2 CRS, "init.cssd diag" can be used to confirm TZ setting for CRS; init.cssd could be located in /etc/init.d, /etc or /sbin/init.d depend on platform.
