Setting The System Time Or Configuring The Ntp - Fujitsu BS2000 SE700 User Manual

4 Setting the system time or configuring the NTP

The Management Units are available as NTP servers for all units of the server via the
internal LAN. SU x86 and HNC are preconfigured with respect to NTP; AU configuration
must be performed as required by the administrator responsible.
To ensure high time accuracy, you can also configure automatic time leveling with a so-
called NTP server, e.g. one which supplies a time which is as accurate as a radio clock,
using NTP (Network Time Protocol).
Effect on the time setting of the systems on the SE server
The time settings of the other systems are synchronized with the system time of the
Management Unit. The Management Unit is the basic timer.
When changes are made to the time management which affect the Server Unit, bear in
mind that the time settings in BS2000 systems and of XenVMs that are started later are also
affected. Here you should in particular avoid large leaps in time which are caused by setting
the time manually.
Details on BS2000 are provided in the "Synchronization of the system time" section in the
"BS2000 OSD/BC System Administration" manual.
