You can set the properties of the system time to synchronize the Oracle FS System clock time with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server or you can set the date and time manually.
To set the Oracle FS System time, use one of the following options:
- Use External Time Source
- Synchronizes the system time with an external NTP server.
Important! Do not attempt to use a Windows system as an NTP server unless that system has a third-party NTP service such as Meissner installed. Alternatively, use a Linux‑ or Unix‑compatible NTP server and sync both the
Oracle FS System server and the Windows Time Service to that server. For more information about configuring time services, refer to
Appendix H: Configuring Time Services for a Heterogeneous UNIX and Windows Environment (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463171.aspx).
Note: If the primary NTP server is not available, the Oracle FS System consults the secondary servers in round-robin fashion until a connection is made.
- Use Internal Hardware Clock
- Allows you to set the system time manually.
