To set the date and time:
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Enter the
date
command at the command line using the following syntax:
date
“MMDDhhmmYY”
The values represent the following:
•
MM
is the month; valid values are
01
through
12
.
•
DD
is the date; valid values are
01
through
31
.
•
hh
is the hour; valid values are
00
through
23
.
•
mm
is minutes; valid values are
00
through
59
.
•
YY
is the year; valid values are
00
through
99
(values greater than
69
are interpreted as
1970
through
1999
, and values less than
70
are interpreted as
2000
through
2069
).
NOTE:
The date function does not support daylight savings time or time zones, so such changes must be
reset manually.
Example:
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary Fabric Configuration Server (FCS) switch
to an external NTP server.
To synchronize local time with an external source:
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Issue the following command:
tsclockserver
ipaddr
where
ipaddr
is the IP address of the NTP server, which the switch must be able to access. This
operand is optional; by default this value is
LOCL
, which uses the local clock of the principal or
primary switch as the clock server.
Example:
HP recommends that you synchronize time with an external NTP server, as described on
. If you
cannot do so, use the next procedure.
