Synchronize date and time across a fabric
You can synchronize date and time across an entire fabric. Because the firmware timestamps
entries in the port log dump, you can more easily correlate events when you synchronize your
fabric.
You must be logged in to switches within a fabric when attempting to set the time on that fabric.
The fabric configuration determines which switches you must be logged in to. If you are not logged
in to the appropriate switches, Fabric Manager prompts you to log in to those switches before
proceeding.
Synchronizing the date and time
1. Log in to the switches in the fabric that you want to synchronize.
2. In the View panel or Information panel, right-click the fabric that you want to synchronize and
click Set Time from the context menu.
You cannot set the time for a switch group.
The Time dialog box displays (see Figure 100).

3. To adjust the time or date, click the applicable areas in the Time dialog box (month, day, year,
hour, minute, second, AM or PM, and time zone) and use the up and down arrows to change
the values; then click OK.
