Setting cluster date and time

You can set the date and time for a SAN Volume Controller cluster from the System Date and Time Settings panel.

Before you begin

This task assumes that you already launched the management GUI.

About this task

You can set the System Date and time manually, or by specifying an NTP server:

Procedure

  1. Click Manage Systems > Set System Time in the portfolio. The System Date and Time Settings panel is displayed.
  2. To use NTP to manage the clustered system date and time, enter an Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) address and click Set NTP Server.
    Note: If you are using a remote authentication service to authenticate users to the SAN Volume Controller clustered system, then both the system and the remote service should use the same NTP server. Consistent time settings between the two systems ensure interactive performance of the management GUI and correct assignments for user roles.
  3. To set the clustered system date and time manually, continue with the following steps.
  4. Type your changes into the Date, Month, Year, Hours, and Minutes fields and select a new time zone from the Time Zone list.
  5. Select Update cluster time and date, Update cluster time zone, or both.
  6. Click Update to submit the update request to the clustered system.
