HP Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class - Manual (Page 33)

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.
