Changing the date and time

The battery-operated clock keeps the date and time for the HMC. You might need to reset the console date and time if the battery is replaced, or if you physically move your system to a different time zone. Learn how to change the date and time for the HMC.

If you change the date and time information, the change does not affect the systems and logical partitions that the HMC manages.

To change the date and time for the HMC, do the following:

Ensure that you are a member of one of the following roles:
- Super administrator
- Service representative
- Operator
- Viewer
In the navigation area, click HMC Management.
In the content pane, click Change Date and Time.
If you select UTC in the Clock field, the time setting will adjust automatically for daylight saving time in the time zone you select. Enter the date, time, and time zone, and click OK.
