Synchronizing local time using NTP
To synchronize the local time using NTP:
Procedure
1.
Log in to the switch using the admin account. The default password is
password
.
2.
Enter the
tsclockserver
command:
switch:admin> tsclockserver
"<ntp1;ntp2>”
The value
ntp1
is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be able
to access. The value
ntp2
is the name of the second NTP server and is optional. The entire operand
"<ntp1;ntp2>”
is optional; by default, this value is
LOCL
, which uses the local clock of the principal
or primary switch as the clock server.
switch:admin>
tsclockserver
LOCLx
switch:admin>
tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"
switch:admin>
tsclockserver
132.163.135.131
The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:
switch:admin>
tsclockserver "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"
Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all
switches in the fabric.
For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the
Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide

Configuring the zones and selecting devices
See the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide, Web Tools Administrator Guide, or Network Advisor user
manual, available from the
Storage
section of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website:

Connecting devices
The
Connect Devices
window shows a graphical representation of the switch with the device
connections, based on the information that you entered in
Configuring the zones and selecting
.
NOTE:
Only B-series optical transceivers are supported. For more information, see the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website at
http://www.hpe.com/support/SANcompatibility
.
Consider the following when connecting devices:
• Transceivers and cables are keyed so that they can be inserted only one way. If a transceiver or cable
does not slide in easily, make sure it is oriented correctly.
• Do not insert a cable intended for an mSFP transceiver into a regular SFP+ transceiver; you may
damage the cable. The mSFP transceivers and cables are supported only with the 64-port 8 Gb/s
