Setting the date and time for appliance nodes
Follow these steps to set the date and time on the appliance nodes.
To set the date and time using NTP
- Log in to the Flex Appliance Shell, and then type the following:
set date ntp
- Press Enter.
- Follow the prompts to set the NTP server.
- If you have a multi-node appliance, repeat this procedure on the other node.
To set the date and time by entering the date and time manually
- Log in to the Flex Appliance Shell, and then type the following:
set date manual-date
- Press Enter.
- Type the date and time, and then press Enter.
- If you have a multi-node appliance, repeat this procedure on the other node.
To set the time zone
- Log in to the Flex Appliance Shell, and then type the following:
set date timezone
- Press Enter.
- Type the number that corresponds to your continent or ocean, and then press Enter.
- Type the number that corresponds to your country, and then press Enter.
- Type the number that corresponds to your time zone, and then press Enter.
- Type 1 to verify that the time zone is correct, and then press Enter.
Note:
After this step, the following message displays:
You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line TZ='<timezone>'; export TZ to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in again.
Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
This message displays in error. You do not need to perform any additional steps to make the timezone change permanent.
- If you have a multi-node appliance, repeat this procedure on the other node.
