TIME PROBLEM

[DHINESHBABU]

hi,

os and mp showing diffrent times...
$ date
Wed Nov 26 16:53:53 IST 2008

[IOCDB201-MP] MP:CM> date

This command sets the date and time on the MP.

Current date is: 11/26/08
Do you want to modify it? (Y/[N])

Current time is: 11:26:15
Do you want to modify it? (Y/[N])

Hi,

It might be timezone problem.

OS is providing IST timing whereas MP might be in different timezone.

It looks like the MP is in UTC.

>I want both times should be same

You obviously know what you want and how to do it. What is the real question are you asking here?

Hi Dhinesh,

By default the MP time will be in UTC and there is no option to change the TIMEZONE in MP.And the OS time will be based on the MP clock which works on the UTC time zone and converted according to the configured timezone in your OS.

So change the MP time.
(This is so obvious, I must not be understanding your real question??)

[Dennis Handly]

Ok, so your real question is how to set these two clocks separately. It appears you can't and the MP must always be in UTC.
If you want the current UTC time you can use "date -u".
