Managing the System Time
Setting the system time accurately is critical for the proper functioning of the system. Setting the system time enables:
• Windows clients to mount the file system
• Scheduled activities, such as snapshot and replication tasks, to occur at the appropriate time
• The correct time to be recorded in the Event Log
• Time synchronization between the Active Directory authentication server and the FluidFS cluster, which is necessary for Active
Directory authentication
You can set the system time using either of the following options:
• Manually set the time – Manually set the time for the FluidFS cluster.
• Automatically synchronize the time with an NTP server – Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronizes clocks over a network. If
the FluidFS cluster is part of a Windows network, the Active Directory server should serve as the NTP server. If the FluidFS cluster is
not part of a Windows network, configure it to synchronize with a local NTP server (if such a server exists) or with an NTP server on
the Internet.
View and Configure Time Settings
Provide the correct time information for the FluidFS system. An NTP server is mandatory for working with Active Directory. An NTP
server is recommended for accurate snapshot and replication scheduling and for event logging. For this procedure, the time information is
copied from the Storage Center setup.
Steps
1. In the Storage view, select a FluidFS cluster.
2. Click the File System tab.
3. In the File System view, select Cluster Connectivity, and then click the General tab.
4. In the Time panel, click Edit Settings.
5. Select a time zone from the Time Zone drop-down list.
6. Add or remove NTP servers. In the NTP Servers field:
• To add an NTP server, type the host name or IP address of an NTP server in the NTP Servers field and then click Add.
• To remove an NTP server, select an NTP server from the NTP Servers list and then click Remove.
7. If the time displayed in the Time field is correct, click OK.
8. To change the current time, clear the Set Time Using NTP Enabled checkbox.
9. From the Time drop-down lists, select the date and time.
