Hi,

please execute the following steps to change time zone in Celerra:

1. Log in to the Control Station as root.

2. To verify the current environment, type:

# date

3. Display information about the current time zone of the Control Station by typing:

# ls -la /etc/localtime

4. Set the hardware clock to the current time zone of the Control Station by typing:

# vi /etc/sysconfig/clock

When the file opens, type:

ZONE=”America/New_York”

UTC=false

ARC=false

5. Save the file and exit.

6. Change the current time zone, New York, to Asia/Kolkata, by typing:

# /usr/bin/perl /nas/http/webui/bin/timezone.pl -s Asia/Kolkata

Note: A list of valid Linux time zones is located in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory.

7. To verify the current environment, type:

# date

8. Display information about the current time zone of the Control Station by typing:

# ls -la /etc/localtime

Output:

llrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Aug  7 22:48 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kolkata

9. Set the hardware clock to the current time zone of the Control Station by typing:

# vi /etc/sysconfig/clock

When the file opens, type:

ZONE=”Asia/Kolkata”

UTC=false

ARC=false

10. Save the file and exit.

Hello xiaolong

You can also change the Control Station time & zone by the following commands:

1. Time: nas_cs -set -time

2. Zone: nas_cs -set -timezone

eg: nas_cs -set time 201410131130 -timezone America/New_York


But instead of changing time/zone manually, it's always advisable to have the CS & the DM to sync with NTP. For any further information on this command (nas_cs) please refer to the linked document at the starting of the post.
