Option to set "correct" time when cold starting partition

This idea is especially for IBMi partitions, but maybe other platforms have similar requirements.


There are ibmi partitions, for example

-cold stand-by / DR purposes

or

-that are started from resp. created by a flash copy operation (starting the lpar, doing full backup in restricted state, ending)

that have no TCP/IP configured or are switched off for a long time.


In both situations, you have no influence, what time of day the operating system has, when it is starting.

The idea is, to have an option within the partition profile to use the HMCs time for example, every time the partition is starting from profile ( cold start ).

Please have a look ...
Best regards

Jürgen

    A simliar problem exist when you create a partition and wait a longer period (i. e. a month) before NW install. It can lead to the install ressource denying the LPAR because of invalide certificates. We had this problem on OpenShift Bootstrap Nodes (who can't be configured with chrony)
