(in versions v1 r2 through v1 r1)
Title
The HPE 3PAR OS must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the operating system include date and time. Time is commonly expressed in UTC, a modern continuation of GMT, or local time with an offset from UTC.
Check Content
To verify the time zone is configured, enter: cli% showdate If the time zone field is not configured, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the time zone by first identifying the time zone indicator: cli% setdate -tzlist Then configure the timezone with: cli% setdate -tz <timezone identifier from above> If UTC is to be used, complete the operation with: cli% setdate -tz Etc/UTC Verify the timezone is set with: cli% showdate
