I was playing around with setting the time on the BMC so that
we can better track system events with real time on the box.
When I read the time the time seems okay but when I set the
time it was jumping ahead an hour when in summer time like now.
When out of summer time it was fine. So does this patch:
--- lib/ipmi_sel.c.orig Tue Jun 5 13:44:42 2007
+++ lib/ipmi_sel.c Tue Jun 5 14:12:24 2007
@@ -1678,6 +1678,7 @@ ipmi_sel_set_time(struct ipmi_intf * int
lprintf(LOG_ERR, "Specified time could not be parsed");
return -1;
}
+ tm.tm_isdst = -1;
t = mktime(&tm);
if (t < 0) {
lprintf(LOG_ERR, "Specified time could not be parsed");
look right.
It seems to work correctly. Now "ipmitool sel time set" and
"ipmitool sel time get" matches. I'm probably going set the time
via a crontab and then it will "follow" the time on the box.
It was odd that I would set the time and it would come back an hour
behind in the output from the set command.
Thanks,
Doug A.
