Setting the CHRONY Server Address on the InfiniBand Switches

Note:

InfiniBand switches are used for X8 and earlier compute servers of the Recovery Appliances. X8M and X9M use different network fabric switches.

Do not manually edit the files on the InfiniBand switches.

To set the chrony/NTP server address on a Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36:

  1. Log in to the switch as the ilom-admin user.
  2. Set the date, time zone, and Network Time Protocol (NTP), using one of the following methods:

    • The Configuration page of the ILOM graphical interface.

    • The following CLI commands:

      set /SP/clock timezone=preferred_tz
set /SP/clients/chrony/server/1 address=ntp_ip1
set /SP/clients/chrony/server/2 address=ntp_ip2
set /SP/clock usentpserver=enabled

      In the preceding commands, preferred_tz is the preferred time zone, and ntp_ip1 and ntp_ip2 are the NTP server IP addresses. You must configure at least one NTP server; the second one is optional.

  3. Repeat this task for the other InfiniBand switches.
