Configuring System Time Parameters
You can configure the system's time clock, determine how to automatically update time using an NTP server, and
configure the time zone for your system on this page. Synchronizing the time clock is critical for the proper functioning

This enables:
• Windows clients to mount the system.
• Scheduled activities, such as snapshot and replication tasks, to occur at the appropriate time.
• The correct time to be recorded in the system log.

The Time Configuration page is displayed.
2. From the Time zone list, select the correct time zone for the region that the cluster is located in.
3. Click Save Changes.

1. Select Cluster Management → General → Time Configuration.

year. For example,
