Defining the date and time for the TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.4.3

In a clustered configuration, if both servers are running, run these procedures from only one of the servers. The change takes effect on both nodes.

About this task

Choose one of the following sequences of procedures:

If you are not using an NTP server, do the procedures in the following sections in order.
1. Setting the timezone
2. Setting the date and time
If you are using an NTP server and configured it in Configuring Server A for the TS7650G, do the procedure in Setting the timezone only.
If you are using an NTP server and did not configure it in Configuring Server A for the TS7650G, do the procedures in the following sections in order.
1. Setting the timezone
2. Defining NTP servers

Setting the timezone

About this task

Important: With Version 3.3.6 and later, you must apply each change you make to the timezone, date and time, and time server individually before proceeding to the next task.

Defining NTP servers

About this task

This procedure applies only if you have NTP servers.

Important: With Version 3.3.6 and later, you must apply each change you make to the timezone, date and time, and time server individually before proceeding to the next task.

Procedure

From the prompt on the Date, Time, Timezone & Timeserver(s) configuration menu, type the numeral that corresponds to the Set Timeserver(s) option and press Enter to add a time server to the system. The system displays the following prompt:
```
Please specify the timeserver's IP Address:
```
Enter the IP address of the NTP server. (For example, type 192.168.10.15 and press Enter.) The system displays the following prompt:
```
Would you like to set a secondary timeserver? (yes|no)
```
Type y and press Enter to set a secondary NTP server. The system displays the following prompt:
```
Please specify the secondary timeserver's IP Address:
```
Enter the IP address of the secondary NTP server. For example, type 192.168.12.15 and press Enter. The system displays the Date, Time, Timezone & Timeserver(s) configuration menu.
Type the character corresponding to Commit changes and exit * and press Enter. A list of the configuration changes is displayed for review, and the system prompts for your confirmation of the changes.

Type y to save and apply the changes. The system displays the following prompt:

Note: the cluster & VTFD services on all nodes must be stopped in order to continue. 
Do you wish to continue? (yes|no)

Type y to stop and restart the cluster and VTFD services on all the nodes.

Setting the date and time

About this task

Important: With Version 3.3.6 and later, you must apply each change you make to the timezone, date and time, and time server individually before proceeding to the next task.

Procedure

From the prompt on the Date, Time, Timezone & Timeserver(s) configuration menu, type the numeral that corresponds to the Set date & time option and press Enter. The system displays the following prompt:
```
Please Choose:1

3. Set Timeserver(s)

c. Commit changes and exit *
q. Exit without committing changes

Please Choose:

Type the character corresponding to Commit changes and exit * and press Enter. A list of the configuration changes is displayed for review, and the system prompts for your confirmation of the changes.
Replace any cables that you removed in step Configuring Server A for the TS7650G.
Configuration of Server A is complete. If you are installing a clustered configuration, you must now install ProtecTIER® Manager and create a repository on Server A before you configure Server B.
