Setting the date and time

Date and time are used for logging events. 4Gb SAN Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value will function properly.

To set the date and time using the CLI:

1.If you have not already done so, connect to the switch and log in as admin as described in Connect to the Command Line Interface.

2.Issue the date command using the following syntax: date “mmddHHMMyy”

where:

•mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.

•dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.

•HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.

•MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.

•yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970–1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000–2069).

For example:

switch:admin> date

Fri Jan 29 17:01:48 UTC 2000 switch:admin> date "0227123003

Thu Feb 27 12:30:00 UTC 2003 switch:admin>

For details about changing time zones, see the tsTimeZone command in the latest version of the Fabric OS command reference guide.
