Applicable to: World-Wide

Source: RETAIN tip H166305

Abstract:
System clock (time) is affected after booting from CD.

Symptoms:
The system's time has been changed back one (1) hour.

Problem isolation aids:
The system is any of the following IBM Netfinity servers:

• a Netfinity 7000-M10 server, Type 8680, any model.
• a Netfinity 7000 server, Type 8651, any model.
• a Netfinity 5500-M20 server, Type 8662, any model.
• a Netfinity 5500-M10 server, Type 8661, any model.
• a Netfinity 5500 server, Type 8660, any model.
• a Netfinity 5000 server, Type 8659, any model.
• a Netfinity 3500 server, Type 8644, any model.
• a Netfinity 3000 server, Type 8476, any model.

The system has been booted from one or more of the following:

• ServerGuide Hardware CD, versions previous to 4.1
• ServeRAID Configuration CD, versions previous to 3.50.04

The system's time has been changed back one (1) hour, after being previously set correctly.

Fix:

• Use ServerGuide Hardware CD, version 4.1 or later.
• Use ServeRAID Configuration CD, version 3.50.04 or later.

Workaround:
Be certain to check the system clock for the correct time after booting from the ServeRAID Configuration CD ROM or the Server Guide (Hardware Guide) CD-ROM.

Details:
When the ServeRAID Configuration (Version lower than 3.50.04) CD-ROM or the Server Guide (Version lower than 3.50.04) CD-ROM Graphical user Interface boots, the system clock can be set back one hour.
