Chapter 13. Changing the system date and time
The following procedure describes the steps required for changing the system's
date, time and time zone. In a two-node cluster, each node must be changed
separately. When both nodes are running, there is only a need to run this from one
of the nodes. The change will take effect on both.
About this task
After configuring the ProtecTIER server, you can change the system's date, time
and time zone and add timeservers to the system.
Attention:
time, IBM recommends that once you complete the procedure, you commit the
changes and exit the session. Do not proceed to setting a different timezone in the
same session. If you are planning to run both the Set date & time and Set Timezone
operations, first set the timezone, and then the date and time. This is
recommended because the timezone settings affect the time that is displayed.
