UOS Tongxin operating system simulates the deployment of a production environment cluster on a single machine, reporting a time zone error.

The time zone has already been set on the operating system, but it still doesn’t work.

I did not install the MySQL database, this is the first time deploying a cluster environment.

There is no Beijing time zone in the international time zones, just change it to Shanghai.
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime

I remember that the Tongxin server has a desktop where you can visually modify the time zone, or you can try restarting the server.

I don’t have a desktop, and after restarting, it’s still the same :joy:

tiup cluster check ./topology.yaml --user root [-p] [-i /home/root/.ssh/gcp_rsa]

Can it be automatically fixed? Try this:
tiup cluster check ./topology.yaml --apply --user root [-p] [-i /home/root/.ssh/gcp_rsa]

I used the command timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Shanghai. I encountered this issue before and tried many commands.

I have tried this as well, but it doesn’t work.

Did you get an error when running tiup cluster check? Please paste the command result so we can take a look.

You can also try upgrading tiup to the new version.
