Updating appliance date/time

[Dmitry@Rivermine]

Hi, I seem to be running into an issue that after issuing command date the system will immediately reset the date back to what it was before. Please see below.

[Linux etc]# date
Wed Nov 12 15:43:16 EST 2008
[Linux etc]# date -s "Wed Nov 12 10:31:00 EST 2008"
Wed Nov 12 10:31:00 EST 2008
[Linux etc]# date
Wed Nov 12 15:43:21 EST 2008
[Linux etc]#


Any idea why this happens? And also what governs the date on the appliance. I seem to have all kinds dates on my appliances.

Dmitry, have you looked at http://forum.3tera.com/showthread.php?p=490#poststop ?

Please check your grid's date and time ("grid info -v"); if that is not correct, your service provider can fix it; similarly, if the grid date/time is correct but appliances have the wrong date/time, this can be fixed. If all dates/times are correct but you want to do something different, please use the link above (but if the problem is in the grid/servers time, it will be better to fix that than untie the wallclock in appliances).

Regards,
