Note:
If Titan is configured for Microsoft Windows networking, then the
value used for Description will also serve as the server’s comment for all
configured
CIFS names.
Configuring Date and Time
Titan’s current date, time, and time zone can be configured. The NTP Server from which Titan
may synchronize its time can also be configured.
Keeping Titan’s time in sync with a reliable time source is an important part of keeping the
server operating properly. The current time is used in Kerberos authentication which is required
when operating with
Active Directory
. Clock drifting may also cause file access and modification
times to be misreported resulting in unexpected results in
Data Migrations
. Using NTP is the
best and most reliable method for keeping Titan’s time accurate.
