Date and time
It may be necessary to set the day, time or the time zone manually. This can be done by
using the ‘set’ command with the necessary date and time options. These are listed below:
Syntax set timezone GMT=[+ or -] hour=<0-14> min=<0-59>
Syntax set date year=<2001-2035> month=<1-12> day=<1-31>
[format=<mmddyyyy|ddmmyyyy|yyyymmdd>]
Syntax set time hour=<0-23> min=<0-59> sec=<0-59>
Thus to set the time to be 08:10 am in the -8 hours from GMT (PST or time zone on west
coast of USA) and to set the date to be 15 October 2003, the following set of commands
are used.
Magnum6K25# set time hour=8 min=30 sec=0
