You need to set the following in /etc/environment
TZ=GMT0BST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0
The above is stating that the time changes on:
M3.5.0 Month3 (March) Week 5 Day 0 (Sunday)
M10.5.0 Month3 (March) Week 5 Day 0 (Sunday)
The defualt time for the change is 02:00
Unfortunatly you need to reboot the server once you have set the above - or sometime before the end of October.
You can set things manually using
smit time

Just to avoid any confusion, the second line:
M3.5.0 Month3 (March) Week 5 Day 0 (Sunday)
should be:
M10.5.0 Month10 (October) Week 5 Day 0 (Sunday)
An alternative way of changing the environment file is to use:
chtz GMT0BST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0
man chtz for more info.
