4.13.4 Set the Time Zone on an InfiniBand Network Fabric Switch

You can set or change the time zone setting on an InfiniBand Network Fabric switch.

You can choose to change the time zone setting by using the ILOM Web interface or the ILOM command-line interface on each InfiniBand Network Fabric switch.

• To change the time zone setting using the ILOM Web interface:

  1. Log in as the switch administrator (root) to the ILOM Web interface at http://switch_hostname_or_IP_address.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left side of the window, expand ILOM Administration, then click on Date and Time.

  3. Select the Timezone tab.

  4. Select from the Timezone drop-down list.

  5. Click Save.

• To change the time zone setting using the ILOM command-line interface:

  1. Start the ILOM command-line interface.

     You can access the ILOM command-line interface using various methods, including any of the following:

     • Connect to the InfiniBand Network Fabric switch using SSH as the ilom-admin user.

       $ ssh -l ilom-admin switch_hostname_or_IP_address

     • Connect to the InfiniBand Network Fabric switch using SSH as the switch administrator (root) and then run the ILOM service processor shell (spsh).

       $ ssh -l root switch_hostname_or_IP_address
       # spsh

  2. Using the ILOM command-line interface, run the following command:

     -> set /SP/clock timezone=preferred_tz

     In the command, preferred_tz is the preferred time zone. The time can be specified using a standard abbreviation (for example, PST) or a time zone name in the form Area/Location (for example, America/Los_Angeles).

  3. Verify the change by examining the output from the following command:

     -> show /SP/clock
