Checking FW Coreswitch:
FW Version: 7.4.2202 OK

Restoring the configuration changes permissions of time zone file.
This causes fwverify command to receive an error when it attempts to read the file.
Similar behavior can be seen when change timezone setting which is described in

Known Problems

Bug 16847481
Description:Setting time zone changes permissions of time zone file.
Workaround :After setting the time zone, the permissions of the time zone
file are set to be highly restricted. Consequently, the
fwverify command receives an error when it attempts to
read the file.
Workaround: Open the permissions on the time zone file.
1. After setting the time zone, become the root user.
2. Open the permissions for the time zone file.
# chmod 644 /conf/localtime

Solution

Open the permissions on the time zone file.
1. After restoring the configuration, become the root user.
2. Open the permissions for the time zone file.
# chmod 644 /conf/localtime
