I had an remote online upgrade from relase 9.0 to 10.0/MCD4 tank on me last night thanks to the site losing power just before the schedule data preservation & subsequent activation time, power restored a few hours later. Controller powered up and partially booted, but according to the RTC console message it was spitting out it was waiting for the scheduled time to roll around again to continue. This naturally was a problem since the next time the clock would hit that time was 24 hours later than I had planned. In this case I just manually re-loaded the system from my backup and everything was happy again. But, I got to thinking, can't I just set the clock via the RTC shell to fool the system into thinking it's at the data preservation time and continue the online upgrade that was pending? Anyone tried this, or at least know the command syntax for setting the clock from the RTC shell? I want to try this out in my lab and see if it would really work.
 
No, the answer I got there is how to set it from ESM. In this particular situation, the system doesn't boot up enough to allow me to even get into ESM, the only maintenance access I have is via the RTC shell.
 
Sorry.....that answer was the ESM side of life. Not RTC shell. My bad.
