Correcting the time zone of a Brocade 7800
If the time of your switch is off by hours (and not minutes), use the following procedure to set
the time zone.
1. Log in as admin.
2. You can use the tstimezone -interactive command and follow the prompts or enter the
tsTimeZone command as follows:
tstimezone [houroffset [, minuteoffset]]
For Pacific Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -8,0
For Central Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -6,0
For Eastern Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -5,0
The default time zone for switches is universal time conversion (UTC), which is 8 hours
ahead of Pacific Standard Time. Additional time zone conversions are listed later in this
section.
The parameters listed do not apply if the time zone of the switches has already been
changed from the default (8 hours ahead of PT).
For more detailed information about the command parameters, see the tsTimeZone
command in the Fabric OS Command Reference.
This needs to be done only once, because the value is stored in nonvolatile memory. For
U.S. time zones, use
Table 3 to determine the correct parameter for the tsTimeZone
command.
