Change the Timezone Configuration

You can change the timezone defined for at any time after installation.

You can use the CLI to view and change the timezone configuration.

  • To view the existing timezone configuration, use the following command.

    $ system show

  • 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.
