Setting the date and time The date and time settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly. However, because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, they should be set correctly. Setting the date To set the date: 1. If necessary, log on to the DC04 SAN Director by Telnet, using the admin account. 2. Enter 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 through 1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069) For example: switch:admin> date Fri Sep 26 17:01:48 UTC 2008 switch:admin> date "0926123008" Fri Sep 26 12:30:00 UTC 2008 switch:admin> Setting the time zone To set the time zone: 1. If necessary, log on to the DC04 SAN Director by Telnet, using the admin account. 2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows: switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt] The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Mountain. switch:admin> tstimezone Time Zone : US/Pacific switch:admin> tstimezone US/Mountain switch:admin> tstimezone Time Zone : US/Mountain 150 DC04 SAN Director log in and configuration
