Setting System Time
2. Log on to the OSM Service Connection or the TSM Service Application, and then:
a. Check the state of the batteries as described in Monitoring Batteries on
page 15-3.
b. Check the status of all system components in the enclosures to make sure
they are started.
3. Use SCF commands to check the status of external devices and, if necessary, to
restart any external devices to bring them back online.
Setting System Time
Setting the system time is not normally required following a power failure. System time
is kept by a separate battery that is not affected by a power outage. If required,
however, you can set the system time, either programmatically or by using the TACL
command interpreter.
To set system time using the TACL command interpreter, log on to the system as a
super-group user (255,n) and enter the SETTIME command. For example, to set the
local standard time to 2:23 p.m. on March 19, 2002:
> SETTIME mar 19 2002, 14:23 LST
