clock adjustment no impact?

Hello,

When I change the clock or timezone will this have an impact on the production?

We use MDS 9513 with FICON.

Regards,

Setting the clock or the timezone will have no impact on the switch operation.  The event log timestamps on events prior to the clock change will remain the same, so if you are setting the clock backwards, some events may appear to have occured in the future.

Hello,

Problem solved by editing the clock in Fabric Manager:

In Physical Attributes panel:

Switches --> clock

In Information panel:

adjusting timezone to GMT+1 for fabric 5 and for fabric 6

Kind regards,

Ivy

Good Morning Ivy,

I believe you were also trying to change the time from CLI and you got below message:

FDBEMF5C1(config)# sh clock
Thu Nov 25 07:39:50 UTC 2010
FDBEMF5C1(config)# clock timezone UTC +1 39
                                      ^
% Invalid number at '^' marker.
FDBEMF5C1(config)#

As you mentioned you can change the timezone/clock from FM and from CLI, for the UTC +  you don't need to put + sign you need to put a sign only for the UTC -.  example:

ozi(config)# clock timezone CET -1 0
ozi(config)# show clock
Thu Nov 25 07:55:31 CET 2010
ozi(config)# clock timezone CET 1 0
ozi(config)# show clock
Thu Nov 25 09:55:49 CET 2010

I hope this helps in the future, thanks.
