set ntp-parameters


Description	Sets Network Time Protocol (NTP) parameters for the system. You can manually set system date and time parameters by using the set controller-date command. You must specify at least one of the optional parameters for the command to succeed. NOTE:If you change the time zone of the secondary system in a replication set whose primary and secondary systems are in different time zones, you must restart the system to enable management interfaces to show proper time values for replication operations.

Syntax	set ntp-parameters [ntp enabled\|disabled\|on\|off] [ntpaddress `address`] [timezone +\|-`hh`[:`mm`]]
Parameters	[ntp enabled\|disabled\|on\|off] Optional. Enables or disables use of NTP. When NTP is enabled and the specified NTP server is available, each controller’s time is synchronized with the server. This is disabled by default. [ntpaddress `address`] Optional. The network address of an available NTP server. The value can be an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or FQDN. [timezone +\|-`hh`[:`mm`]] Optional. The system’s time zone as an offset in hours (-12 through +14) and optionally minutes (00–59) from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). To specify a positive offset, the '+' is optional. To specify a negative offset, the '-' is required. The hour value can have one or two digits and can omit a leading zero. If the minutes value is specified it must have two digits. If it is omitted, the minutes value is set to 00.
Examples	Set the system to use NTP with an offset for the Mountain Time zone. # set ntp-parameters ntp enabled ntpaddress 69.10.36.3 timezone -7 Set the system to use NTP with an offset for the Bangalore, India, time zone. # set ntp-parameters ntp enabled ntpaddress 69.10.36.3 timezone +5:30
