Setting the date and time on the Velocity physical appliance
Velocity Help
You can manually set the time or configure the appliance to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Some appliance functionality is dependent on keeping accurate time with the rest of your network environment. Veritas recommends that you use an NTP server for the appliance, as well as any hosts that it interacts with.
To set the date and time
Log on to the Velocity shell menu.
From the Main_Menu > Network view, type the following command to set the date and time:
Date Set <Month><Day><HH:MM:SS><Year>
Where <Month> is the first three letters of the month, <Day> is the day of the month (1-31), <HH:MM:SS> is the hour, minute, and second in a 24-hour format, and <Year> is the year in YYYY format. For example:
Date Set Jun 2 15:12:00 2016
Type the following command to set the time zone:
TimeZone Set
In the menus that follow, type the numbers that correspond to the continent (or ocean), country, and time zone region where the appliance is located. When you complete your selections, type yes to set the time zone.
(Optional) Type the following command to configure the appliance to use an NTP server:
NTPServer Add <Server>
Where <Server> is the host name or IP address of the NTP server.
