Setting the Date and Time

  • PDF

Article summary

This article explains how to set the date and time on a Skylight orchestrator appliance using its internal clock. The appliance’s date and time are not configured when the appliance shipped. This procedure should be performed before the appliance is used in a production environment.

Alternatively, the system date and time can be synchronized to NTP servers. See Configuring the NTP Client.

Procedure Requirements

A. This procedure must be executed from the Skylight orchestrator console. Connect to the console via a remote SSH client (appliance IP address, port 2200).

B. This procedure must be executed as the visionems user. To execute this procedure, you must know the account’s credentials.

C. You must restart Skylight orchestrator software after changing the time zone.

Procedure Steps

To set the date and time

  1. Log in to the Skylight orchestrator console as the visionems user.

  2. Edit the time and/or date by entering this command:
    time edit clock year YY month MM day DD hour hh minute mm second ss
    where:
    YY is the two-digit year
    MM is the month (a two-digit value between 01 to 12)
    DD is the day (a two-digit value between 01 and 31)
    hh is the hour (a two-digit value between 00 and 23)
    mm is the minute (a two-digit value between 00 and 59)
    ss is the second (a two-digit value between 00 and 59)

  3. Restart the application server by entering:
    service restart app_server

The Skylight orchestrator application server restarts. When the application server is running, the Skylight orchestrator web interface is available.
