HP DC04 SAN Director Switch Hardware Reference Guide

Setting the time zone
To set the time zone:
1. If necessary, log on to the DC04 SAN Director by Telnet using the admin account.
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Mountain.
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Pacific
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Mountain
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Mountain
Synchronizing local time
To synchronize the local time of the principal or primary switch with that of an external NTP server,
follow these steps.
1. If necessary, log on to the DC04 SAN Director by Telnet using the admin account.
2. Enter the tsClockServer command as follows:
switch:admin> tsClockServer “<ntp1;ntp2>”
where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be
able to access. The variable 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 first obtainable address as the active NTP server. The others are 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.
The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Mountain.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"
switch:admin> tsclockserver
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
Verifying the Port Identifier mode and connecting to the fabric
Before connecting the DC04 SAN Director to the fabric, verify that the PID mode on the DC04
SAN Director matches the other switches in the fabric. This parameter must be identical for all
switches in the fabric and is set using the configure command.
To connect the DC04 SAN Director to the fabric:
1. Add SFP optical transceivers (or XFP optical transceivers with FC10-6 port card installed) and
cables to the FC ports.
The ports are color-coded to indicate which can be used in the same port group for trunking.
(Trunking port groups can be up to 8 ports). The ports and cables used in trunking groups
must meet specific requirements. See the Fabric OS Administrator's Guides.
