Verify that the login is successful. If successful, the prompt displays the switch name and user
ID to which you are connected.

Setting the date and time

The date and time are used for logging events. 8Gb SAN Switch operation does not depend on
the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value functions 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” (page 15)

.

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.

Verifying installed licenses

To determine the type of licensing included with your 8Gb SAN Switch, enter licenseshow at
the command prompt, as in the following example:

switch:admin> licenseshow
XXXnnXXnXnnXXX:
Fabric Watch license
Release v5.0 license
XXXnnXXnXnnXXX:
Zoning license
XXXnnXXnXnnXXX:
Web license
