Network Time Protocol (NTP) settings
Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides support for automatic time synchronization. If you are using
an Active Directory Service domain controller, it is important to synchronize the StoreOnce appliance's
real-time clock with the same time source as that of the Active Directory Server.
NOTE:
If you enable NTP, you cannot configure date and time manually and you must set the Current Location
correctly to ensure that local time is correct
Check the
NTP Enabled
box and provide the IP address or fully qualified domain name of an NTP
server on the local network.
It is possible to synchronize the HP StoreOnce Backup System with up to three NTP servers. If you
are using Windows Active Directory, one of these should be either the domain controller server
or an NTP server that the domain controller is also using to synchronize its time. Providing multiple
NTP servers ensures that a single server failing or getting out of sync will not affect the time on the
HP StoreOnce system.
Be sure to check the box next to each of the servers to enable.
