Summary
This article describes how to set the date and time of the NetScaler system. This is done through the NetScaler shell by issuing a shell command from the NetScaler CLI prompt.
Netscaler – Powering the cloud.
Procedure
Displaying the Date and Time
1. Launch a session to the NetScaler.
2. From the NetScaler CLI, issue the shell command:
shell
Last login: Thu Feb 23 09:20:06 on ttyp0
root@ns#
3. At the UNIX prompt, issue the date command to display the current date:
root@ns# date
Thu Feb 23 09:41:37 PST 2006
Changing the Time Only
When setting the time on the NetScaler system it must be specified based on a 24-hour clock.
The format is: date HHMM
• HH – The hour of the day, from 0 to 23
• MM – The minute of the hour, from 0 to 59
Example:
root@ns# date 1345

Note: The seconds are not used when setting the time only.

When setting the date, the time must also be set. The format is: date ccyymmddHHMM
• cc – The first two digits of the year (the century)
• yy – The second two digits of the year

• dd – The day of the month, from 1 to 31
• HH – The hour of the day, from 0 to 23
