HP-9000 clocks are noteworthy for not being accurate.

You probably have a dead or weak clock battery.

Best course of action is to set up ntp.conf and point to a local or Internet time source, then the time will always be right.

Hi Rene,

Could you check your firmware revision,

Patch Name: PF_CKEYMAT0601

Patch Description: HP rp7405/rp7410/rp8400/Server Expansion Unit Firmware 6.1

When reading the Real-Time-Clock, the values returned occasionally may be incorrect. A new method is used to read the RTC to correct the erroneous returns.
