Setting the Time Zone

You can set the time zone on a Solaris platform or on a C-series platform with the SRC CLI. Use one of the following formats:

• (Recommended) Continent or nation with major city or province.

To see a list of entries in this format, use the ? help at the CLI:

[edit system]

user@host# set time-zone ?

Possible completions:

  Africa/Abidjan

  Africa/Accra

  Africa/Addis_Ababa

  Africa/Algiers

  Africa/Asmera

  Africa/Bamako

  Africa/Bangui

  Africa/Banjul

. . .

• GMT offset to set the time zone relative to UTC (GMT) time in the format /Etc/GMToffset. Time zone files are stored in the /Etc directory.
• A common zone such as UTC, MET, or EST.

To modify the local time zone:

1. In configuration mode at the [edit system] hierarchy level, set the time zone.

[edit system]

user@host# set time-zone time-zone 

For example, to set the time zone for New York:

[edit system]

user@host# set system time-zone America/New_York

2. Verify the configuration. For example:

[edit system]

user@host# show

time-zone America/New_York;

3. For the time zone change to take effect for all processes running on the system, reboot the system.
