The DataFabric Manager server allows administrators To specify the time zone where portions of Datasets are physically located. This allows the internal scheduling processes To adjust backup times appropriately for storage in different locations.

The time zone specifications here are the same as in Data ONTAP. Timezone specifications can be in one of several formats:

  • Using a location string specified in Arthur David Olsen's public domain time zone database. This format identifies locations by continent or ocean and then by the Name of the location, which is typically the largest city within the region. For example, "America/New_York" represents most of the eastern time zone; "America/Phoenix" represents most of Arizona, which uses mountain time without daylight savings time.
  • A traditional time zone abbreviation incorporating default rules for daylight savings time. For example, "EST5EDT" for the US eastern zone, or "PST8PDT" for the pacific zone, or "GMT-2" for two hours east of GMT.
  • A full POSIX time zone specification, specifying names for the standard and daylight times, and the rules for switching between them. For example, Brian's Time might be "BST8BDT,M4.1.0,M10.5.0".

This family of APIs provides Interfaces for listing the time zones in the server's database, and for validating that a user-supplied time zone specification is valid. Note that there are many ways of forming a valid time zone specification, so the output of the timezone-list-info iterators is not a complete list of valid time zones.

Element definition: TimezoneValidateResult [top]
Name Type Description
UtcOffset xsd:integer
Current Offset, in seconds, between this time zone and UTC. Range: -43200 To 50400. Negative Values are west of UTC; positive Values are east of UTC.

Element definition: TimezoneDefaults [top]
The default time zone settings.
Name Type Description
DefaultTimezone xsd:string
Name of the time zone To use for Objects that do not specify a time zone. This may be empty, meaning that Objects use the server's time zone by default. Set this Value with the "dfm Option set timezone={new-value}" command.
ServerTimezoneDescription xsd:string
Description of the time zone in which this DFM server is located. If the "DefaultTimezone" is empty, Objects without an explicit time zone setting will use the server's time zone. Example Values:

  • "US/Eastern (GMT -4:00)"
  • "SGT (GMT +6:00)"
  • "UTC (GMT +0:00)"

 
Element definition: TimezoneInfo [top]
Information about a time zone.
Name Type Description
TimezoneName xsd:string
