通过使用 NTP 模式，系统时钟将保持同步，从而确保您的系统拥有可靠的时间戳。这对于工作组中成功交换
文件、协调和验证网络日志以及请求资源访问权限非常重要。
注: 如果系统为工作组成员，Dell 建议您使用 NTP 模式以确保更好地执行复制服务操作。您可以使用 Date
and Time（日期和时间）页面中的 Edit（编辑）选项设置或修改 DR Series 系统的现有日期和时间设置。不
过，如果已加入域，NTP 服务将处于禁用状态，此时将使用域时间管理模式，而无法启用 NTP。
Editing System Date and Time Settings
To modify the default time and date settings for your DR Series system, complete the following:
1. Select System Configuration → Date and Time.
The Date and Time page is displayed.
2. Click Edit on the options bar.
The Edit Date and Time dialog is displayed.
注: If the DR Series system is joined to a Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS) domain, the Edit option
will be disabled (grayed out) and the Mode, Time Zone, or Date and Time values cannot be changed in the
Settings pane. This is because whenever a DR Series system is joined to a domain, the Network Time Protocol
(NTP) is disabled and the DR Series system uses the domain-based time service. NTP is used in the Mode
setting when the DR Series system is part of a workgroup and not joined to a domain. To be able to modify or
edit any of the Settings pane values when the DR Series system is joined to an ADS domain, you would first
need to leave the ADS domain before you could modify any of the date and time settings. For more
information, see Configuring Active Directory Settings.
3. In Mode, select either Manual or NTP.
If you select Manual, continue on with the tasks in step 3.
If you select NTP, skip to step 4.
a) Select Manual.
The Edit Date and Time dialog is displayed.
b) Click the Time Zone drop-down list and choose the desired time zone.
c) Click the Calendar icon (adjacent to Set Date and Time), and select the desired day in the month (the system
prevents the selection of unsupported days).
d) Adjust the Hour and Minute sliders to the desired time (or click Now to set the date and time to be the current
date and time in hours and minutes).
a) Click Done.
The Edit Date and Time dialog is displayed with your new settings.
4. Select NTP.
The Edit Date and Time dialog is displayed.
– Click the Time Zone drop-down list and select the desired time.
– Edit or revise the NTP servers as desired (you are limited to selecting only three NTP servers).
5. Click Submit (or click Cancel).
The Date and Time page is displayed, and an Enabled NTP service dialog is displayed when successful (and this
was your selected mode).
Creating Containers
After initialization, the DR Series system contains a single default container named backup. Containers function like a
shared file system, which can be assigned a connection type of None (to be defined later), NFS/CIFS, or RDA (includes
both OST and RDS clients). Containers can then be accessed using NFS, CIFS, or RDA.
