I really like the vCenter Mobile Access Tech Preview!<\/p>\n

One thing that kind of got me, was that the time zone cannot be changed from the guest interface.
\nSo I started playing around with the back end… I’ve never used CentOS, of which the appliance is based on.<\/p>\n

After a little playing around, I figured out what I needed to do.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I sshed into my vCMA appliance<\/li>\n
  2. View the contents of \/etc\/sysconfig\/clock
    \nYou’ll see:
    \nZONE=”America\/Los_Angeles”<\/span>
    \nUTC=false<\/span>
    \nARC=false<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  3. Use vi to modify the clock file<\/li>\n
  4. I’m in the Central Time Zone, so I replaced the contents with:
    \nZONE=”America\/Chicago”<\/span>
    \nUTC=false<\/span>
    \nARC=false<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  5. Save the file<\/li>\n
  6. Restart the vCMA appliance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


    \n<\/a><\/p>\n

    That’s it. The vCMA blue screen won’t show the updated time, but the vCMA phone interface will show the updated time on events.<\/p>\n

    Now when I’m viewing the events on my iPhone, I can see the actual time zone, and not have to adjust from Pacific Time to Central Time.<\/p>\n


    \n<\/a><\/p>\n

    Cheers,
    \nJase<\/p>\n
