Date and timezone

This window sets the time zone and specifies a computer with which the filer synchronizes its time at reboot.

The following list describes what the buttons in this window do:

Reload Settings
Click this button to reload the current settings from the filer.
View Changes
Click this button to view the changes that you made.
Save Changes
Click this button to save the changes to the filer after you made a change.

The following list describes the configurable fields in this window:

Timezone
Specifies the time zone appropriate to the location of the filer.
Synchronize Time With
Specifies the target computer with which the filer uses the rdate command to synchronize its time. The target computer must use the UDP time service (typically UDP port 37). This service is available on most UNIX computers. There is currently no Windows 95 or Windows NT counterpart to the rdate command. To keep the filer's clock accurate, regularly run the rdate command on the filer with the target machine.

Cluster considerations

You cannot set the timezone nor synchronize the time from a virtual (or failed) filer.
