Task 8: Configuring an Application Server’s Date and Time
An Application Server’s Date and Time reflects the time set in the operating system.
You may choose to peg the server’s time to the time of another server. The other server must
either be running an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server, or have the time protocol enabled in
the inetd super-server daemon.
Note: For your system to use NTP for synchronization you must have the ntpdate
NTP client program installed.
REQUIREMENTS
Make sure you meet the following conditions before beginning this procedure:
• The remote Application Server whose time you would like to synchronize to, is online
and functioning.
• On the Application Server whose time you would like to configure, you have navigated
to the iControl—Date and Time page (see page 562 ).
