Connect to the Services Module and configure it to synchronize with the switch:
ProCurve(sentinel-B)# timesync switch <CR>
Use the show command to verify that the Services Module time is correct:
ProCurve(sentinel-B)# show date <CR>
21:57:33,07/24/2008
If there are discrepancies, it is likely that there is a difference in time zone and daylight
savings time settings between the switch and the Services Module. You can verify the
Services Module time zone with the show command:
ProCurve(sentinel-B)# show timezone <CR>
America/Los_Angeles
7.2.2.2 Synchronize using NTP
First specify the NTP servers to synchronize with. The default NTP servers will provide
time synchronization as long as the Services Module has Internet access. Alternate
servers can be specified using the following commands:
ProCurve(sentinel-B)# ntp1 time1.mycompany.com <CR>
ProCurve(sentinel-B)# ntp2 time2.mycompany.com <CR>
The following command will enable NTP synchronization:
ProCurve(sentinel-B)# timesync ntp <CR>
Use the show command to verify that the time is correct on the Services Module. If
there are discrepencies, it is likely that the time zone is set incorrectly, or that the
selected ntp servers are not reachable.
You should never need to set time directly since time synchronization will be setting
time automatically. If time is too far off its correct value, the NTP protocol might not be
able to maintain synchronization. The following commands are provided to manually set
the time close to the correct value:
ProCurve(sentinel-B)# date 17:00,4/30/2008 <CR>
or if you just want to adjust the time:
