Setting the date and time
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the
date
command using the following syntax:
date “mmddHHMMyy”
where:
•
mm
is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
•
dd
is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
•
HH
is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
•
MM
is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
•
yy
is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are interpreted as
1970–1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000–2069). For example:
For details about changing time zones, see the
tsTimeZone
command in the HP StorageWorks Fabric
OS 5.x command reference guide.
Synchronizing local time with an external source
To synchronize the local time of the principal or primary FCS switch to an external NTP server:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the following command:
tsclockserver “ipadd”
where
ipaddr
is the IP address of the NTP server, which the switch must be able to access. This
operand is optional; by default its value is
LOCL
, which uses the local clock of the principal or primary
switch as the clock server. For example:
HP recommends that you synchronize time with an external NTP server, as described on ”Synchronizing
local time with an external source” . If you cannot do so, use the next procedure.
Setting the time zone
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the
tsTimeZone
command as follows:
tsTimeZone [houroffset [, minuteoffset]]
• For Pacific Standard Time enter
tsTimeZone -8,0.
• For Central Standard Time enter
tsTimeZone -6,0.
• For Eastern Standard Time enter
tsTimeZone -5,0.
The default time zone for switches is Universal Time Conversion (UTC), which is 8 hours ahead of
Pacific Standard Time. Table 3 shows additional time zone conversion values.
The parameters do not apply if the time zone of the switch has already been changed from the default
(8 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time).
See the
tsTimeZone
command in the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide for
detailed information about the command parameters.
