Setting the date and time

The Remote Supervisor Adapter and ASM processor each contain their own
real-time clocks to independently time stamp all events that are logged in the
battery-backed event logs. Setting one clock does not affect the settings of the
other clock, and each clock serves a separate purpose.

Alerts sent by e-mail, LAN, and SNMP use the real-time clock setting to time stamp
the alerts. The clock settings support Greenwich mean time (GMT) offsets and
daylight saving time (DST) for added ease-of-use for administrators managing
systems remotely over different time zones. You can remotely access the
battery-backed event log even if the system is turned off or disabled. This facilitates
immediate problem determination and resolution.

Note: The GMT offset and AutomaticaIly adjust for daylight saving changes

fields are not available when you are logged in to an ASM processor or ASM
PCI adapter.

Complete the following steps to verify the date and time settings of the Remote
Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor:

1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter where you want to set the ASM date

and time values. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using the
ASM Web interface” on page 3.

2. For an xSeries 330 server: If you want to set the date and time values for the

ASM processor, log in to the ASM processor. For more information, see
“Logging in to the ASM processor in an xSeries 330 server” on page 6.

3. In the navigation pane, click System Settings and scroll down to the ASM Date

and Time section, which shows the date and time when this Web page was
generated.

4. To override the date and time settings and to enable daylight saving time (DST)

and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), click Set ASM Date and Time. A window
