HP B-series 16Gb FC Switches Hardware Reference Guide

2. Enter the tsclockserver command:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2>”
The value ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must
be able to access. The value ntp2 is the name of the second NTP server and is optional. The
entire operand "<ntp1;ntp2>” is optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the
local clock of the principal or primary switch as the clock server.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCLx
switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"
switch:admin> tsclockserver
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"
Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers
Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to
all switches in the fabric.
For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.
Configuring the zones and selecting devices
See the Network Advisor User Manual, available from the storage section of the HP website:

Connecting devices
The Connect Devices window shows a graphical representation of the switch with the device
connections, based on the information that you entered in “Configuring the zones and selecting
devices” (page 41).
NOTE: Only HP B-series optical transceivers are supported. For more information, see the HP
website at http://hpsancompat.com/.
Consider the following when connecting devices:
• Transceivers and cables are keyed so that they can be inserted only one way. If a transceiver
or cable does not slide in easily, make sure it is oriented correctly.
• Do not insert a cable intended for an mSFP transceiver into a regular SFP+ transceiver; you
may damage the cable. The mSFP transceivers and cables are supported only with the 64-port
8 Gb/s blade for the SN8000B SAN directors. Do not attempt to insert a standard SFP cable
into an mSFP transceiver; you can damage the transceiver.
