changing date on one server in cluster.

[Pradeep_3]

Hi

I have two node cluster running on HP-UX 11.11, On my fail-over server, date is not proper.

Can I change the date of that server while my cluster is active? no database or application is running on that server as it is passive node.

Thanks in advance

Hi Paresh,

If differs that mutch, I would boot in single user mode, set the date ( date -u mmddhhmmyy ) and reboot again. Just to be on the save side.

Start thinking about setting up ntp. Below are some older questions.

It should be ok, as long as you are not changing too much, but if I were you, I would raher do a cmhaltnode on that node, adjust the date, then cmrunnode.
Much safer in the long run.
