Time zones

You must select a valid time zone value from the lists provided, record it in the configuration worksheet, and enter the value at the setup prompt.

Data ONTAP uses time zones defined by the standard UNIX zoneinfo database. You can set your system time zone by using one of the following types of terms:

The following are examples of valid aliases:

Alias Standard reference
Jamaica US/Eastern
Navajo US/Mountain
UCT GMT
UTC
Universal
Zulu

In most cases, you should select an appropriate geographical or GMT term unless you have special requirements in your environment.

If you need to change your selected time zone after setup is complete, you can use the timezone command.

For more information about time zones in Data ONTAP, see the timezone(1) and zoneinfo(5) man pages.
