About setting time zones
You can set the time zone for the switch by name. You can also set country, city, or time zone parameters.
If the time zone is not set with the new options, the switch retains the offset time zone settings. The
tsTimeZone comm a nd includes an option to revert to the prior time zone format. For more information
about the --old option, see the Fabric OS command reference manual.
You can set the time zone for a switch using the tsTimeZone command. The tsTimeZone command
allows you to perform the following tasks:
• Display all of the time zones supported in the firmware.
• Set the time zone based on a countr y and city combination or based on a time zone ID, such
as PST.
• You can view the time zone settings. However, only those with administrative permissions can set
thetimezones.
• The tsTimeZone setting automatically adjusts for daylight savings time.
• Changing the time zone on a switch updates the local time zone setup and is reflected in local
time calculations.
