After the NTP server has performed it
ʼ
s sync operation, the bruAPP/OS will request that
you reboot the system to ensure that all system components are updated with the
proper date and time (including timezone) settings.
Setting the Timezone
You can specify the timezone of the bruAPP by choosing your timezone from the Timezone list. Once
changed, you
ʼ
ll be asked to reboot the bruAPP to ensure that the timezone settings take effect for all
running services.
Manually Syncing the Time
To manually synchronize the bruAPP system time with the currently defined timezone and NTP server,
choose the “Sync Time” option.
Viewing the Current System Time
To view the current system time, choose the “Current Time” option to view the current date and time of
the bruAPP Backup Appliance.
Viewing the NTP Log
If you
ʼ
re having trouble synchronizing the time with the defined NTP server using the current settings,
you can view the NTP log to see what errors, if any, that NTP is reporting.
To scroll through the log, use the up, down, left, and right arrows on your keyboard. If you find an error,
make the appropriate changes to correct the error and try a manual synchronization operation.
Each time the bruAPP synchronizes the time using the NTP server, the system
hardware clock will be updated to ensure that both the software and hardware clocks
remain accurate.
