Configuring the Timezone on a CIS Host

The timezone of each ISR component has a default setting of America/New_York, also known as the Eastern Time Zone. To change the timezone on the ISR, the administrator must set all hosts to the timezone of choice and the RSS hosts must be set to the same timezone as all ISRs.

Note:

It is important that your ISR component hosts are assigned the same timezone, except the Index host, which must be set to UTC.

To configure the timezone of an ISR component:

1. Connect to the ISR component console with an SSH client.
2. Execute the rm -f /etc/localtime command to remove the previous timezone setting.
3. Execute the following command to link the updated timezone.

   ln -s	/usr/share/zoneinfo/<region>/<timezone> /etc/localtime

   Note: When you enter the /usr/share/zoneinfo/<region> and /usr/share/zoneinfo/<region>/<timezone> commands the CLI provides options for both the <region> and <timezone> arguments.
