I currently do not have Internet connection on my server and I wish to manually update a package to fix one of my timezone issue. How can I manually update it in my server? Please assist. And it was officially posted the update package in the SUSE website: [https://www.suse.com/support/update/announcement/2015/suse-ru-20151772-1.html](https://www.suse.com/support/update/announcement/2015/suse-ru-20151772-1.html) ---

The last ‘reference’ link on that page is to the Patch Finder site/utility. Click there, or go there manually ([https://download.suse.com/patch/finder/](https://download.suse.com/patch/finder/)) and you can then get your update manually. Download the RPM, copy it to your server, and install with rpm/zypper: [CODE[ zypper in /path/to/your/timezone\*.rpm [/CODE] – Good luck.

After I run the zypper command, how can I verify the timezone is updated successfully? 2. Did I need to reboot the server after the update? ---

Still, whenever you upgrade a package with zypper, it will tell at the very end if any applications are using now-updated files, and then it’s up to you to restart those applications. There may be nothing, or you may need to restart one service, or you may just want to reboot, but a reboot should not be required when updating most packages. – Good luck.

As this is a SLES 11 package, you may be able to install SLES 12 SP1 and natively have access to the same code, though I have not checked. Upgrading a server to an SP can be a great way to apply all of the available patches (at the time of SP release anyway) at once since it also gives your system a new lease on support life. – Good luck.
