CLI Guide

set ntp-parameters
Description Sets Network Time Protocol (NTP) parameters for the system. You can manually set system date
and time parameters by using the set controller-date command. You must specify at least one of the
optional parameters for the command to succeed.
NOTE: If you change the time zone of the secondary system in a replication set whose primary
and secondary systems are in different time zones, you must restart the system to enable
management interfaces to show proper time values for replication operations.

Syntax
set ntp-parameters
[ntp enabled|disabled|on|off]
[ntpaddress address]
[timezone +|-hh[:mm]]
Parameters
[ntp enabled|disabled|on|off]
Optional. Enables or disables use of NTP. When NTP is enabled and the specified NTP server is
available, each controller’s time is synchronized with the server. This is disabled by default.
[ntpaddress address]
Optional. The network address of an available NTP server. The value can be an IPv4 address, IPv6
address, or FQDN.
[timezone +|-hh[:mm]]
Optional. The system’s time zone as an offset in hours (-12 through +14) and optionally minutes
(00–59) from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). To specify a positive offset, the '+' is optional. To
specify a negative offset, the '-' is required. The hour value can have one or two digits and can omit
a leading zero. If the minutes value is specified it must have two digits. If it is omitted, the minutes
value is set to 00.
Examples Set the system to use NTP with an offset for the Mountain Time zone.
# set ntp-parameters ntp enabled ntpaddress 69.10.36.3 timezone -7
Set the system to use NTP with an offset for the Bangalore, India, time zone.
