Change the Timezone ConfigurationΒΆ
You can change the timezone defined for StarlingX at any time after installation.
You can use the CLI to view and change the timezone configuration.
Procedure
To view the existing timezone configuration, use the following command.
$ system show +----------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | --------------------------------------------------------------+ | contact | None | | created_at | 2019-12-09T16:08:34.271346+00:00 | | description | None | | https_enabled | False | | location | None | | name | 468f57ef-34c1-4e00-bba0-fa1b3f134b2b | | region_name | RegionOne | | sdn_enabled | False | | security_feature | spectre_meltdown_v1 | | service_project_name | services | | software_version | nn.nn | | system_mode | duplex | | system_type | Standard | | timezone | Canada/Eastern | | updated_at | 2019-12-09T16:19:56.987581+00:00 | | uuid | c0e35924-e139-4dfc-945d-47f9a663d710 | | vswitch_type | none | +----------------------+--------------------------------------+
To change the timezone, use the following command syntax:
system modify --timezone=<one_specific_timezone>
For example:
$ system modify --timezone=Asia/Hong_Kong
Check that the timezone name you are using is installed in /usr/share/zoneinfo.
After this command is executed, a several seconds delay is expected before the configuration is applied to the system.
