Installing and Configuring the DS-5300B
30 EMC Connectrix B Series DS-5300B Hardware Reference Manual
The tsTimeZone setting automatically adjusts for Daylight
◆
Savings Time.
Changing the time zone on a switch updates the local time zone
◆
setup and is reflected in local time calculations.
By default, all switches are in the GMT time zone (0,0). If all
◆
switches in a fabric are in one time zone, it is possible for you to
keep the time zone setup at the default setting.
System services that have already started will reflect the time
◆
zone changes only after the next reboot.
Time zone settings persist across failover for high availability.
◆
The following procedure describes how to set the time zone for a
switch. You must perform the procedure on all switches for which the
time zone must be set. However, you only need to set the time zone
once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile
memory.
1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the
default password, which is password.
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [,
timezone_fmt]
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by
time zone ID, such as PST.
The following example shows how to change the time zone to
US/Central.
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Pacific
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Central
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone
using interactive mode to Pacific Standard Time.
1. Type the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive
2. You are prompted to select a general location.
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can
be set correctly.
