Timezone change in OpenVZ Node


You can set the timezone of you main nodeusing teh following method.

1. Login to the main host node.(SSH).

2.check the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/ and confirm which is your timezone(PST,UTC,EST,IST)

3.Now move the file /etc/localtime

 mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime_bk

4.link your timezone to /etc/localtime

 ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/IST  /etc/localtime

Now you may need to synchronize the time using rdate command. If rdate is not available install it with yum.

 rdate -s rdate.cpanel.net&
