Setting the date and time

Date and time are used for logging events. 4Gb SAN Switch operation does not

depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value will

function properly.
To set the date and time using the CLI:

1.

If you have not already done so, connect to the switch and log in as admin as

described in

Connect to the Command Line Interface

.

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:
switch:admin> date

Fri Jan 29 17:01:48 UTC 2000

switch:admin> date "0227123003

Thu Feb 27 12:30:00 UTC 2003

switch:admin>

For details about changing time zones, see the tsTimeZone command in the latest

version of the Fabric OS command reference guide.
