Configuring Date and Time

Switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), which is the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). You can specify a time zone for the switch. Following U.S. standards, you can have the switch advance the clock one hour at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in April and move back the clock one hour at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in October. You can also explicitly specify the start and end dates and times and whether or not the time adjustment recurs every year.

To change the default time on the switch with Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand SAN, then select a fabric or a VSAN in the Logical Domains pane.
  2. Expand Switches and select Clock in the Physical Attributes pane.
  3. Double-click the time in the ClockDateAndTime field for the switch to change.
  4. Enter the date, time, and time zone in the format YYYY/MM/DD-hh:mm:ss ZONE,

Note     The date and time changes are saved across system resets.
