Setting and verifying system time after replacing the controller

You should check the time and date on the replacement controller module against the healthy controller module in an HA pair. If the time and date do not match, you must reset them on the replacement controller module to prevent possible outages on clients due to time differences.

It is important that you apply the commands in the steps on the correct systems:
  • The replacement controller is the new controller that replaced the degraded controller as part of this procedure.
  • The healthy controller is the HA partner of the replacement controller.
  1. In admin privilege on the replacement controller, check the system time on the controllers: cluster date show
    The date and time are displayed for all controllers in the cluster.
  2. If necessary, set the time on the replacement controller to match the healthy controller: cluster date modify -dateandtime "target_date_and_time"
  3. Check the date and time from the replacement controller: cluster date show
  4. Exit admin privilege.
