Setting the time zone
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device
to that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Perform the following steps to set the date and time.
1. Log in to the device as admin.
2. Enter the
date
["
newdate
"] command at the command line.
The
newdate
variable specifies the new date and time enclosed in double quotation marks. The
operand is optional; if omitted, the current date and time is displayed. Date and time are specified
as a string in the
mmddhhmmyy
format:
•
mm
: Specifies the month. Valid values are 01 to 12.
•
dd
: Specifies the date. Valid values are 01 to 31.
•
hh
: Specifies the hour. Valid values are 00 to 23.
•
mm
: Specifies the minutes. Valid values are 00 to 59.
•
yy
: Specifies the year, valid values are 00 to 37 and 70 to 99. Year values from 70 to 99 are
interpreted as 1970 to 1999; year values from 00 to 37 are interpreted as 2000 to 2037.

Setting the time zone
The default time zone is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The time zone must be set only once
because the value is stored in nonvolatile memory. Use the following procedure to set the time zone.
1. Log in as admin.
2. Use the
tsTimeZone --interactive
command and follow the prompts, or enter the
tsTimeZone
[
houroffset
[,
minuteoffset
]] command as follows:
For Pacific Standard Time, enter
tsTimeZone -8,0
.
For Central Standard Time, enter
tsTimeZone -6,0
.
For Eastern Standard Time, enter
tsTimeZone -5,0
.
