Time service

Your storage system supports the Network Time Protocol (NTP) for time synchronization.

To synchronize the system time with a network time server, you must ensure that the timed.enable option is set to on, the timed.proto option is set to ntp, and the timed.servers option is set with at least one valid time server.
Note: Both controllers in an HA pair should have time synchronization enabled to ensure time consistency in the event of controller failover.

For more information about synchronizing the system time, see the Data ONTAP System Administration Guide for 7-Mode.
