Customizing vMA for Non-English Environments

Details

Customizing vMA for non-English environments requires some experience with Linux. This KB article explains how to change the keyboard and the time zone. For all other customization questions, view the Linux documentation.

Solution

You can change the time zone from the vMA Linux console, as follows:

1. Remove the existing localtime file.

# sudo rm /etc/localtime

2. Make a symbolic link for the time zone that you want to use. For example, for Tokyo time:

# sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo /etc/localtime

You can change the keyboard table for vMA as follows:

1. From the vMA console, open the /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file in the vi editor.

# sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/keyboard

2. Using vi, change KEYTABLES=”us” to use the keyboard you have, for example:

KEYTABLES="jp106"
