PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 Cyber Recovery User Guide

Changing time zones

Change the current time zone of the Cyber Recovery deployment.

1. Do either of the following:
   • Log in to the Cyber Recovery management host as root.
   • Log in to the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance as admin and then change to root.
2. View the current time settings. For example:

   timedatectl
         Local time: Thu 2021-07-01 14:02:39 EDT
     Universal time: Thu 2021-07-01 18:02:39 UTC
           RTC time: Thu 2021-07-01 18:02:39
          Time zone: America/New_York (EDT, -0400)
        NTP enabled: yes
   NTP synchronized: yes
   RTC in local TZ: no
         DST active: yes
   Last DST change: DST began at
                     Sun 2021-03-14 01:59:59 EST
                     Sun 2021-03-14 03:00:00 EDT
   Next DST change: DST ends (the clock jumps one hour backwards) at
                     Sun 2021-11-07 01:59:59 EDT
                     Sun 2021-11-07 01:00:00 EST
   

3. View the current time settings in one of the containers. For example:

   docker exec -it cr_edge_1 date
   Thu Jul  1 14:03:02 EDT 2021
   

4. Change the time zone on the Cyber Recovery management host. For example:

   timedatectl set-timezone America/Chicago

5. Verify the new time zone setting on the Cyber Recovery management host:

   date
   Thu Jul  1 13:08:26 CDT 2021
   

6. Restart the Cyber Recovery services to propagate the new time zone into the Cyber Recovery Docker containers:

   /opt/dellemc/cr/bin/crsetup.sh --restart

7. Verify that the new time zone is in effect in one of the CR containers. For example:

   docker exec -it cr_edge_1 date
   Thu Jul  1 13:09:00 CDT 2021
