Description
The 3510 array uses it's own internal time keeping mechanism.

The date and time on the 3510 should be set so that event messages in the event log display the date and time of the event correctly



Steps to Follow
The Date, Time and Time Zone can be set by either accessing the array firmware or by the use of sccli.

Accessing the array firmware to set the Date and Time

You can access the controller firmware through a telnet session to the ip address of the array. The Main Menu appears as follows once the Terninal type (VT100 mode) has been selected:

          <Main Menu>

view and edit Logical drives
view and edit logical Volume
view and edit Host luns
view and edit Drives
view and edit channelS
view and edit Configuration
view and edit Peripheral devices
system Functions
view system Information
view and edit Event logs

Note: Because Fibre Channel, SATA, and SCSI arrays share the same controller
firmware, most menu options are the same. Parameter values might vary according
to the array type, configuration, drive type, and so forth.

From the Main Menu select: view and edit Configuration

From this menu select: Controller Parameters

From this menu select: Set Controller Date and Time

This menu gives you 2 options:

Time Zone
Date and time

Selecting Time Zone displays the following

Default Time Zone - GMT +08:00
New Time Zone -

Your time zone is specified as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) followed by
a plus (+) or minus (-) sign and the number of hours earlier or later
your location is from the Greenwich mean time. For instance, the time
zone setting for Japan is GMT +9 and the time zone for New York is
GMT -4 or -5, depending on daylight savings.

Selecting Date and Time displays the following

Time and Date [MMDDhhmm[[YYYY] : 072511052004 for 11:05 a.m., July 25, 2004.

see the sccli section for the appropriate values for these paramaters

Using sccli to set the date and time

sccli> set controller-date month day hh:mm:ss year time-zone

where:

Argument        Description
===========================
month           Specify the month in abbreviated format. Valid values:
Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec
day             Specify the day of the month. Valid values: 1 31.
hh:mm:ss        Specify the controller time based on a 24-hour system.
hh: Specify the hour. Valid values: 0 23.
                mm: Specify the minute.  Valid values: 1 59.
                ss: Specify the seconds. Valid values: 1 59.
year            Specify the year. If you do not specify the year, it is automatically
set to the year set in the RAID firmware.
time zone Specify the time zone based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) followed by a
plus (+) or minus (-) sign and the number of hours earlier or later  your
location is from the Greenwich mean time. For instance, the time zone
setting for Japan is GMT +9 and the time zone for New York is GMT -4
or -5 depending on daylight savings. If you do not specify the time
zone, it is automatically set to the time zone set in the RAID firmware.

The following example sets the controller time and date to September 22, 2004
at 1:43 pm in the Pacific Standard time zone during daylight savings time.

  1. sccli c2t0d0 set controller-date sep 22 13:43:00 gmt -7
