  • 1.  Guardium Timezone Issue

    Posted 09/08/20 05:15 AM
    Hi,

    My appliance date-time ever since installation hasn't synched with my system timezone. I don't have an NTP server to synchronise the time. But i keep changing the appliance date/time to synchronise. I have even tried setting my ntp server to localhost.localdomain and 127.0.0.1, just to see if it would sync but no positive result. This has been on-going in a while.

    Kindly need assistance.

    Hi Chibueze,

    Please follow the below steps and let me know the result :

    1. Disable ntp server

    store system ntp state off​

              2. Change timezone to local timezone

    store system clock timezone list ... store system clock timezone <TIME ZONE NAME> ... show system clock timezone​

                3. Restart GUI and Check timezone and time are as wanted, even when exit and login again.

    Thank you
    Sachin Shende

    Hi Chibueze,  when you say it hasn't synched with your system time which 'system' are you referring to?  Have you specified the timezone\date time using these commands?

    store system clock datetime
    store system clock timezone

    Josh,

    I think that problem is simple.

    Chibueze wrote that he has not NTP server and tries point localhost.

    Chibueze, to synchronize time you must have NTP server access (even public if your appliance has access to the internet)

    In case of no NTP synchronization, please setup correct timezone and use command suggested by Josh to manually set correct date and time.
