Rename the FluidFS Cluster
Changing the FluidFS cluster name changes the FluidFS cluster name that is displayed in Storage Manager and the name that clients use to
access the FluidFS cluster.
Prerequisites
After changing the FluidFS cluster name, you must also make the following adjustments:
• Change the FluidFS cluster name on the DNS server.
• If the FluidFS cluster is joined to an Active Directory domain, leave and then rejoin the FluidFS cluster to the Active Directory domain. If
the
FluidFS cluster is joined to Active Directory using the old FluidFS cluster name, it might aect the ability of Active Directory users to
access the system.

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 le 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
