Vmware DataRecovery – time issue
15 september 2009
I had an issue with the time configured in the Vmware Datarecovery Appliance.
Backups started in the morning at 9, while I set in vCenter that backup window is in the night between 23h and 4h…
So, the clock of the appliance itself must be the problem!
In the webinterface, there’s no option to set the time, so you need the commandline.
As a non-Linux expert, I solved it with the command hwclock:
hwclock –show to get date/time
hwclock –set –date “15 Sep 2009 10:15:00 AM” to sync it to the vCenter time
Everything works fine now!
Ohh…after this, I saw the option Set timezone in the virtual appliance itself. I put the right timezone there too…
