Wrong snapshot timestamps in OnCommand System Manager

michel_rebmann — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 07:38:34 GMT

Hello Community,

Last weekend was the change to daylight saving time. When I had a look at the snapshots from OnCommand System Manager (Version 2.0R1) I saw some strange timestamps from snapshots:

The selected Snapshot is from 06/15/2054!

Unluckily the snap list command doesn't show the year:

FILER> snap list nas_esxi_data_01

Volume nas_esxi_data_01

We have this issue with ontap 8.0.1 and 8.0P6 7-Mode on various Volumes. Timezone on the filers is: Europe/Zurich

Does anyone else has this problem? I think it's just a bug in OnCommand System Manager.

Yes I have seen this issue in System Manager too.

snap list command on the filer shows correct information and the timestamp in the snapshot name is correct. However I have a couple of snaps where the year is 3954 in OSM! Also witnessed an issue with the time when using the Powershell module, which I posted about yesterday here: https://communities.netapp.com/thread/21034

Did anyone find an answer to this? We have the same issue across the board on all snapshots taken during the day that daylight savings time moved forward. All 7-mode systems runnign 8.2p6 using System Manager 2.2.

The OSM Gui shows this for the snapshot on the DST change day. (across the board on all snapshots on all volumes for that day)

Whereas snap list shows this:
