Bluecat IMAP: Date command not showing the correct time zone?

Date command not showing the correct time zone?

 

Adonis> show system-time
System Time:
Time = 14:08:41
Date = 06/30/13
Timezone = Etc/UTC
Adonis>

Problem Description: Before the release of 6.1.1 it was a known issue that after an upgrade to 6.1.0.62, the “date” command displays the wrong time zone even though it was configured correctly from the previous version.

Impact:
When configuring the time zone from the admin console correctly and issued a “show timezone”, it displayed the correct time zone as opposed to the “date” command.

Workaround:
(logged in/su as admin):

configure timezone

set timezone

(choose a different timezone than your actual timezone)

save

configure timezone

set timezone

(choose your correct timezone)

Adonis> configure system-time
Adonis:configure:system-time> set
time     date     timezone
Adonis:configure:system-time> set timezone
