  9. 6.10 Synchronizing the Physical Partition (PPAR) Time and XSCF Time

6.10 Synchronizing the Physical Partition (PPAR) Time and XSCF Time


6.10 Synchronizing the Physical Partition (PPAR) Time and XSCF Time
This section describes the procedure for clearing the difference between the system time and physical partition (PPAR) time.
The XSCF keeps the time difference from the physical partition. With each change by the setdate command to the system time, the difference is updated with the difference between the physical partition time and the changed system time.
To initialize the time difference between all physical partitions and the XSCF, execute the resetdateoffset command on the XSCF. This command synchronizes the physical partition times after physical partition startup with the XSCF time.
  1. Execute the showdate command to display the XSCF time.
    If you have set the time zone, the command displays the time in the local time (JST).
    The following example displays the current time in the local time.
XSCF> showdate
Sat Oct 20 14:53:00 JST 2012
  1. Confirm that the set XSCF time is correct. To change the date and time, execute the setdate command.
    For details, see "5.6 Checking the Time Setting."
  1. Execute the showdateoffset command to check the times difference between the XSCF system time and physical partition time.
    The following example displays the difference between the system time and the time of PPAR-ID 0.
XSCF> showdateoffset -p 0
PPAR-ID Domain Date Offset
00 0 sec
  1. Unless the time difference in step 3 was 0 seconds, execute the resetdateoffset command to initialize the difference between the XSCF system time and the time of the physical partition.
    The time of each physical partition is set to the XSCF system time at the next physical partition startup.
XSCF> resetdateoffset -p 0
Clear the offset of PPAR-ID 0? [y|n] :y
XSCF>
