Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Storage System Deployment Guide

PDF

Set the date and time

You can set the date and time manually or configure the system to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain date and time from an available network-attached server. Using NTP allows multiple storage devices, hosts, log files, and so on to be synchronized. The NTP server address value can be an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or FQDN. If NTP is enabled but no NTP server is present, the date and time are maintained as if NTP was not enabled.

Prerequisites

The Set Date and Time page is displayed in the guided setup.

About this task

The date and time settings can be changed if needed after initial setup using the Settings > System > Date and Time panel in the PowerVault Manager or by clicking on the date and time displayed in the banner.

Steps

  1. Select either Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Manual.
    • For Manual setting, enter the current (local) date and time.
    • For NTP setting, enter the NTP server address and the NTP time zone offset .
  2. Click Apply And Continue.
