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.
Example The setractime subcommand supports dates ranging from 1/1/1970 00:00:00 through 12/31/2030
23:59:59.
To set the local time to November 24, 2012 at 3:02:30 pm.
racadm setractime -l 20121124150230
The time was set successfully.
setslotname
Description Displays the name and hostname (if available) of all the 16 slots, or of a specified slot (indicated by
the slot number) in the chassis. Optionally, this command can be used to set whether the slot name
or hostname is displayed in the CMC User Interface or with the getslotname -i <slot ID>
command. If the hostname is not available, the static slot name is used.
This subcommand is applicable only for CMC.
To run this subcommand, you must have the Administrator privilege.
For rules for selecting slot names, see the "Editing Slot Names" section in the Dell Chassis
Management Controller User Guide.
NOTE: 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 more information, see
the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
