How do I set up NTP or RDATE?
The StorEdge can be configured to synchronize its time with either Network Time
Protocol (NTP) protocol or an RDATE server. NTP is an Internet protocol used to
synchronize the clocks of computers to a reference time sou rce, such as a radio ,
satellite receiver or modem. Typical NTP configurations use multiple redundant
servers and diverse network paths to achieve high accuracy and reliability.
The RDATE time protocol provides a site-independent date and time. It is a protocol
that can retrieve the time from another machine on your network. RDATE servers
are commonly present on UNIX systems, and allow you to synchronize StorEdge
server time with RDATE server time.
1. To set up NTP, proceed as follows:
2. Access the StorEdge via Telnet or serial console.
3. Press [Enter] at the [menu] prompt and enter the ad ministrator password.
4. Press the spacebar until “NTP Configuration” is displayed under “Ext ensions” at
the lower right.
5. Select the letter corresponding to “NTP Configuration”.
