When DST occurs in Chile (America/Santiago) the APIC changes the clock time in April, but the time on the leaf and spine nodes does not change until May. Similarly, when coming off of DST, the APIC will change the clock time in September, while the leaf and spine nodes change the clock time in August. Therefore, there is a discrepancy in time change between APIC vs. leaf/spine nodes. You can see this clearly outlined in the logs show below: APIC: APIC# zdump -v -c 2020,2025 America/Santiago America/Santiago Sun Apr 5 02:59:59 2020 UTC = Sat Apr 4 23:59:59 2020 -03 isdst=1

When DST occurs in Chile, you will notice the issue.
To address the time zone changes that have not been updated in currently available updates, the following manual process can be used to update systems immediately. Notes about this process: -These "manual" changes WILL be lost if updates are applied to the system that do not contain the corrected timezone information. The timezone information is included in the timezone package. Applying older versions of this or related packages should be followed by re-applying these "manual" changes. -These "manual" changes do not require a reboot of the system. Some applications may have cached information in memory and will not re-read these changes. A reboot may be useful to ensure all applications have read the updated time zone data. Detailed steps for the manual process: 1) Download the most recent time zone data file from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/ . Updates to this data file have the year and release letter updated. 2) Copy the file to a temporary workspace of your choice on the Linux system. 3) Extract the data with the following command: tar xvfz tzdata2007b.tar.gz 4) Apply the updates for the region(s) of interest the system's time zone data through the zic command. E.g., to update the North American data, run: zic northamerica 5) Relink the new time zone names with the old time zone names that were just updated with the following command (See the Additional Notes below for a workaround to possible error(s) in this step.): zic backward 6) Verify that the updates are applied correctly with the following command: zdump -v -c 7) Relink the localtime setting (in /etc/localtime) with the corrected time zone information using the following command: zic -l Additional Notes: If you encounter error(s) executing zic backward: Executing zic backward may return errors if other time zone data is not recent enough. One option would be to update those time zone(s) as well in the same manner as noted in step 4 after identifying the specific time zones involved. A workaround in this situation is to extract only the time zones from backward that need to be re-linked following execution of step 4 above. In this case that would be the time zones that are listed in the northamerica file. The following steps can be substituted for step 5 above: grep 'America' backward > backward.america zic backward.america
When DST occurs in Chile (America/Santiago) the APIC changes the clock time in April, but the time on the leaf and spine nodes does not change until May. Similarly, when coming off of DST, the APIC will change the clock time in September, while the leaf and spine nodes change the clock time in August. Therefore, there is a discrepancy in time change between APIC vs. leaf/spine nodes. This causes issues for customers who have critical applications that rely on accurate time.
