image:Icon for Oracle ILOM

Choose to configure the Oracle ILOM clock by either synchronizing the Oracle ILOM clock with an NTP server or setting the date and time based on the local host time zone.

Before You Begin

Launch Oracle ILOM. For instructions, see Accessing Oracle ILOM.

To modify the clock properties in Oracle ILOM the Admin (a) role is required.

The following procedure provides web and CLI instructions for both the server SP and CMM.

  • To modify the SP or CMM clock properties:
    • From the Web interface:
      1. Perform one of the following:
        • To configure the clock properties to represent the local date and time that is associated with the host operating system clock, configure the date and time properties and then configure the time zone property. To do this, click ILOM Administration → Date and Time → Clock -or- Timezone.

        • To configure the Oracle ILOM clock to synchronize with the date and time associated with an NTP server, enable the property for synchronizing with an NTP server and provide the IP addresses or host name of the NTP server(s). To do this, click ILOM Administration → Date and Time → Clock.

      2. Click Save to apply your changes.
    • From the CLI:
      1. To set the date and time using the local host timezone, type:

        set /SP|CMM/clock datetime= MMDDhhmmYYYY timezones= 3_to_4_characters

      2. To sychronize the Oracle ILOM clock with the date and time of an NTP server, type:

        set /SP|CMM/clock usentpserver=enabled

        set /SP|CMM /clients/ntp/server
        1|2=ip_address_or_hostname
