Changing time zones

Change the current time zone of the Cyber Recovery deployment.

About this task

To change the current time zone of the Cyber Recovery deployment, set the new time zone on the Cyber Recovery management host, and then restart the Docker containers. The containers synchronize with the time zone of the Cyber Recovery management host.

Steps

  1. Do either of the following:
    • Log in to the Cyber Recovery management host as root.
    • Log in to the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance as admin and then change to root.
  2. View the current time settings. For example:
    timedatectl
          Local time: Thu 2021-07-01 14:02:39 EDT
      Universal time: Thu 2021-07-01 18:02:39 UTC
            RTC time: Thu 2021-07-01 18:02:39
           Time zone: America/New_York (EDT, -0400)
         NTP enabled: yes
    NTP synchronized: yes
    RTC in local TZ: no
          DST active: yes
    Last DST change: DST began at
                      Sun 2021-03-14 01:59:59 EST
                      Sun 2021-03-14 03:00:00 EDT
    Next DST change: DST ends (the clock jumps one hour backwards) at
                      Sun 2021-11-07 01:59:59 EDT
                      Sun 2021-11-07 01:00:00 EST
    
  3. View the current time settings in one of the containers. For example:
    docker exec -it cr_edge_1 date
    Thu Jul  1 14:03:02 EDT 2021
    
  4. Change the time zone on the Cyber Recovery management host. For example:
    timedatectl set-timezone America/Chicago
  5. Verify the new time zone setting on the Cyber Recovery management host:
    date
    Thu Jul  1 13:08:26 CDT 2021
    
  6. Restart the Cyber Recovery services to propagate the new time zone into the Cyber Recovery Docker containers:
    /opt/dellemc/cr/bin/crsetup.sh --restart
  7. Verify that the new time zone is in effect in one of the CR containers. For example:
    docker exec -it cr_edge_1 date
    Thu Jul  1 13:09:00 CDT 2021
