2. Enter the tsClockServer command: switch:admin> tsClockServer "" where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be able to access. The second ntp2 is the second NTP server and is optional. The operand "" is optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock of the principal or primary switch as the clock server. The tsClockServer command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4, IPv6, or DNS name formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed, tsClockServer sets the first obtainable address as the active NTP server. The rest will be stored as backup servers that can take over if the active NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP server every 64 seconds. switch:admin> tsClockServer LOCLx switch:admin> tsClockServer "132.163.135.131" switch:admin> tsClockServer 132.163.135.131 switch:admin> The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name: switch:admin> tsClockServer "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net" Updating Clock Server configuration...done. Updated with the NTP servers Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric. Verify the configuration To confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use: 1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, see Table 10. 2. Issue the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides information about the switch and port status. 3. Issue the fabricshow command from the workstation. This command provides general information about the fabric. Back up the configuration HP recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent configuration is available. To back up the switch configuration to an FTP server: 1. Issue the configupload command. 2. Follow the prompts. The command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary. For detailed instructions on backing up the configuration, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS administrator guide. 8Gb SAN Switch hardware reference manual 45

Enter the
tsClockServer
command:
switch:admin> tsClockServer
“<
ntp1;ntp2
>”
where
ntp1
is the IP address or DNS name of the
fi
rst NTP server, which the switch must be able to
access. The second
ntp2
is the second NTP server and is optional. The operand
“<ntp1;ntp2>”
is optional; by default, this value is
LOCL
, which uses the local clock of the principal or primary
switch as the clock server.
The
tsClockServer
command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4, IPv6, or DNS
name formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed,
tsClockServer
sets the
fi
rst
obtainable address as the active NTP server. The rest will be stored as backup servers that can
take over if the active NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time
with the NTP server every 64 seconds.
switch:admin> tsClockServer
LOCLx
switch:admin> tsClockServer "132.163.135.131"
switch:admin> tsClockServer
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:
switch:admin> tsClockServer "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdo-
main.net"
Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers
Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all
switches in the fabric.
Verify the con
fi
guration
To con
fi
rm that the switch is con
fi
gured and ready for use:
1.
Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, see
Table 10
.
2.
Issue the
switchshow
command from the workstation. This command provides information about
the switch and port status.
3.
Issue the
fabricshow
command from the workstation. This command provides general information
about the fabric.
Back up the con
fi
guration
HP recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent con
fi
guration is available.
To back up the switch con
fi
guration to an FTP server:
1.
Issue the
configupload
command.
2.
Follow the prompts.
The command uploads the switch con
fi
guration to the server, making it available for downloading to
a replacement switch, if necessary. For detailed instructions on backing up the con
fi
guration, see the
HP StorageWorks Fabric OS administrator guide
