Hello Community !
Last weekend I tried to deactivate the hardware clock on my Test VM of Oracle Linux 6.5. (NTP not configured).
I was totally unsuccesful.
The purpose is to set the system date manually so that I create a live scenario for Oracle RMAN incremental backup etc.
(I normally google more before I bother someone)
After googling I found that there is a script in init.d that sets the clock.
# grep hwclock /etc/init.d/*
There you see it begins with the command "x" which I understood is the executing the script
I tried everything..commenting this line etc
And finally deleting all the scripts related to NTP and HWCLOCK
Checked with the below command finally to make sure no scripts running :
#whereis ntp and hwclock
and
#which ntp and hwclock
How can acheive that - setting my own date and time by deactivating that?
Thank you !
