SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

In this screen you can manually change the current date and time for the server, or you can
synchronize the server time with an existing NTP server.

If you plan on configuring HA/clustering with the ION Data Appliance, you must use the
“Synchronize the NTP Server” option.

To manually set the date and time, select “Manually” and edit the Current Time and Current Date
fields.

To synchronize the current date and time with the NTP server,

1. Select “Synchronize with NTP Server”.

2. Type the URL of the NTP server to synchronize with.

3. You can also select “Synchronize now”, “Save NTP Configuration”, and “Configure” to

further control NTP settings.

4. Select Accept to save the NTP changes and continue.

If you are not using HA, then the Password Setup screen appears; in that case, skip ahead to
Password Setup below.
