You can set the date and time for a SAN Volume Controller cluster
from the Cluster Date and Time Settings panel.
This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.
You can set the cluster date and time manually, or by
specifying an NTP server:
- Click in the portfolio.
The Cluster Date and Time Settings panel is displayed.
- To use NTP to manage the cluster
date and time, enter an IPv4 address and click Set NTP
Server.
Note: If you are using a remote authentication service
to authenticate users to the SAN Volume Controller cluster,
then both the cluster and the remote service should use the same NTP
server. Consistent time settings between the two systems ensure interactive
performance of the SAN Volume Controller Console and
correct assignments for user roles.
- To set the cluster date and time manually, continue with
the following steps.
- Type your changes into the Date, Month, Year, Hours and Minutes fields
and select a new time zone from the Time Zone list
- Select Update cluster time and date, Update
cluster time zone, or both.
- Click Update to submit the update
request to the cluster.
