IP Storage Router SR2122-2 User Guide

Configuring Time and Date

Configuring time and date parameters consists of specifying the time, date, time
zone, and time server. To configure the time and date parameters:

enable

— Enter Administrator mode.

clock timezone

US/Pacific

— Identify the time zone where the

storage router is located. If a time zone is not identified, time is assumed to be
GMT.

clock set

08:20:00 04 15 2002

— Set time and date (for example:

time, 8:20 a.m.; date, April 14, 2002).

ntp peer

10.1.60.86

— (Optional) Specify the name or IP address of

the network time protocol (NTP) server with which the storage router will
synchronize the date and time.

Note:

After a time change, a reboot is required to synchronize the internal FC switch

syslog and devlog timestamps.
