How to set the compute node's timezone?

Question & Answer


Question

By default, the compute node's timezone was set as 'US/Eastern'. This article described how to modify it to fulfill the specific requirement.

Answer

1> add a soft link as '/install/osimage/<nodegroup name>/cfmdir/etc/localtime', link it to the related time zone value under '/usr/share/zoneinfo' directory or the headnode's setting . Below example shows making it linked to the head node's time zone setting.
#ln -s /etc/localtime /install/osimages/rhels7.1-x86_64-stateless-compute/cfmdir/etc/localtime

2> reboot the compute node or run '#updatenode <noderange>' to make it take effect.
