Reference Guide

Setting the time using the -l and -z options are recommended. This command
format allows the CMC to support local time zones. This command includes the
ability to automatically adjust the CMC time to the local Daylight Savings Time (DST).
Example The setractime subcommand supports dates ranging from 1/1/1970 00:00:00
through 12/31/2030 23:59:59.

Description Sets the name of the slot in the chassis. Optionally, this command can be used to find if
the slot name, host name, or iDRAC DNS name is displayed in the CMC User Interface
or with the setslotname —i <slotNum> | —h command.
To run this subcommand, you must have the Administrator privilege.
NOTE:
• The special characters “ (double quotation mark), ‘ (backward quotation mark),
& (ampersand), , (comma), and \ (backward slash) are not supported for this
subcommand.
• The OMSA server agent must be present and running on the server to use the
Display Hostname feature. If the agent is not running, the setting is ignored. For
