Hello,

I tried to find some information on this issue but unable to find any KB article.

I am adding here some important Time zone notes, may be It can help you -

Avoid local timezones that ignore local DST laws

As a general policy, do not select a local timezone that is tied to GMT and ignores local  DST rules. Since these time standards do not include adjustments for local DST rules, time  displayed in the UI may appear to be inaccurate. In some rare cases UTC is the best choice. UTC is the best alternative when a location’s local DST rules are not consistent on a yearly basis (for example, Brazil).

Do not use GMT as local timezone for England

When selecting a local timezone for England, select Europe/London, unless you know that  the site specifically uses a different timezone. Do not select GMT (Greenwich Mean Time),  even though England is home to GMT (0 offset during standard time). This is because GMT  does not take the DST rules for England into account. For the same reason, do not select  UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

Select capital city or nearest large city for small countries

For small countries, select the country's capital city if it makes sense to do so. Otherwise,  select the nearest large city that it is in the same timezone and observes the same DST  rules.

Regards,

Pawan

Hello,


I have installed Avamar 6.1 virtual edition several times and I don't see any move back option there.

But not sure about AVE 7, I believe you have to start again this.

The error message shown in the logs means that the "avmaint" command was unable to connect to GSAN on the IP address 192.168.100.121.

Is the gsan process running?

ps -ef | grep gsan

Is the gsan process listening on IP 192.168.100.121?

netstat -anp | grep 2[79]000

"Wipe it out and start over" isn't necessarily the best solution here. If you're an authorized partner, you can contact implementation support for assistance.

Hi Pawan,

How can i change this timezone after i completed the answers list, because the script isn't finished. Just remove the VM and start over?

Hi,

Did anyone solve the case? Needed help as I am facing the same issue and have already spun up AVE VM 2 times. Will be grateful for the solution.

Thank you and regards,

Hi all,

Just an update that I could bypass the error "Setting Gsan Time Zone (20 of 71) Failed" by setting the time zone to UTC

I hope this helps.
