This topic describes how to set the date and time on a metadata
server.
Context
Note: For the proper operation of the SAN File System, you must make
sure that the system time and the hardware clock are synchronized on each
metadata server engine in the cluster.
Steps
- Log in as root.
- Set the clock. For example:
# hwclock --set --date "Friday Sep 12 10:00"
Note: The
time is set using a 24-hour format.
- Set the time zone if you did not set it during the installation
of the operating system. For example:
# rm /etc/localtime
# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT /etc/localtime
- Set the system time from the hardware clock. For example:
# hwclock --hctosys
