Setting the Time
The system time is displayed by the Remote Management Unit and it is used internally when logging events and errors. The
system time is either regular time or power-on time. Regular time is Month/Date/Year Time, such as Nov/21/2004 19:28.
Power-on time is Power On Cycles (POC)/Power On Hours (POH). For example,
POC: 00121, POH: 00002:07:45
where POC
is the number of times the system has booted since it was manufactured, and POH is the number of hours, minutes, and
seconds since the last system boot. If regular time is known, it will be used, otherwise power-on time is used.
The PowerVault 124T autoloader must be reset after each power up. The time can be reset automatically if a time server is
configured (see "
