Setting the clustered system time using the CLI

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to set the clustered system (system) time.

To set the system time:

  1. Issue the showtimezone CLI command to display the current time-zone settings for the system. The time zone and the associated time-zone ID are displayed.
  2. Issue the lstimezones CLI command to list the time zones that are available on the system. A list of valid time-zone settings are displayed. Each time zone is assigned an ID. The time zone and the associated ID are indicated in the list.
  3. Issue the following CLI command to set the time zone for the system.
    settimezone -timezone time_zone_setting

    where 031809142005time_zone_setting is the new time zone ID that you have chosen from the list of time zones that are available on the system.

  4. Issue the following CLI command to set the time for the system:
    setsystemtime -time 031809142005

    where 031809142005 is the new time that you want to set for the system. You must use the MMDDHHmmYYYY format to set the time for the system.
