Setting the time for a cluster
About this task
On a cluster running Data ONTAP 8.2 and later releases, Network Time Protocol (NTP) is always enabled on the cluster. To disable NTP (not recommended), you must contact technical support. You can add the IP addresses of the NTP server at your site. This server is used to synchronize the time across the cluster.
