  2. Save as PDF

You can change the date and time for the controller clock and the SVP clock.

Changing the controller clock settings

Complete the following steps to change the date and time on the storage system controller.

Caution
  • If you change the system date and time when the currently set date and time is after the real time, the configuration information might not be backed up. To prevent this from happening, move the existing backup file to another folder and then change the system date and time.
  • The date and time cannot be changed while a different user is accessing the storage system.
  • If you use the SVP, make sure to also update the system date and time on the SVP.
  • To use the NTP server, make sure to use the port number 123 for communications between the storage system and the NTP server. Therefore, configure the network settings between the storage system and the NTP server so that the communications using the port number 123 are established.
  • If you specify the IP address of the NTP server in IPv6 address format, do not use the following IP addresses:
    • Invalid value: [::]
    • Loopback address: [::1]
    • Multicast address: [FF00:: - FDFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF]
    • IPv4-mapped IPv6 address: [::FFFF:(IPv4)]
    • Link-local address: [FE80::]
    • Global unicast address: [2001::]
    • Global unicast address: [2002::]
  • If the time setting cannot be performed by using the NTP server, take actions by referring to Other errors.

Before you begin

  • You must have the Storage Administrator (View & Modify) role to perform this task.

Procedure

  1. In the maintenance utility Administration tree, select Date & Time.

    The current settings are displayed.

  2. Click Set Up.

  3. Change the settings as needed, and either click Apply to save them, or click Cancel to close the window without saving the changes.

Changing the SVP clock and time zone settings

If your configuration includes an SVP for external management servers, you need to ensure that the clock and the time zone settings on the SVP match those of the controller clock.
NoteThe SVP supports Simple Network Time Protocol version 4 (SNTPv4) for date and time synchronization.

Before you begin

  • The management client must be connected to the LAN 2 port on the SVP.
  • The management client must have already established a remote desktop connection with the SVP. Note that the connection cannot be established when you use Remote Desktop Session Host.
  • If storage systems are registered in the Storage Device List, click Stop Service for all registered storage systems in the Storage Device List window before changing the SVP clock settings.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management client that is connected to the SVP.

  2. On the Windows 8.1 desktop, click Start Control Panel.

  3. Click Clock, Language, and Region.

  4. Click Date and Time.

  5. Click Change date and time.

  6. In the Date and Time Settings window, set the date and time, and then click OK to save the settings.

  7. Click Change time zone.

  8. In the Time Zone Settings window, select the time zone, and then click OK.

    NoteIf you do not restart the background service, the time zone change is not reflected. When the time zones remain different between the SVP and the storage system, this condition can cause error conditions.

Other errors

The following table lists other errors that occur in Device Manager - Storage Navigator (HDvM - SN) and provides recommended actions for resolving the errors.

Error condition Probable cause / Recommended action
  • Error about insufficient capacity when creating an LDEV with sufficient capacity.
  • Operation error about an LDEV that does not exist when creating a pair for an LDEV that does exist.
Configuration information displayed in HDvM - SN and controller configuration information might not match.

Click File Refresh All in the Device Manager - Storage Navigator main window to reload configuration information.

If the problem persists, contact customer support.

The firmware on the SVP is upgraded or downgraded.
  • Close all HDvM - SN windows, and then clear the browser cache. Even when you are not sure that the firmware on the SVP is upgraded or downgraded, clear the browser cache.
  • An item added to the table by upgrading or downgrading the SVP firmware is placed on the right edge of the table. Move the column to a more appropriate location if necessary.
The HDvM - SN service stopped unexpectedly and then it is restarting. Troubleshooting code: TRSTNA000007Wait for 3 minutes. If the error condition does not resolve after waiting for 3 minutes, stop the storage system by Storage Device List and restart it.

If the HDvM - SN service does not recover, restart the SVP.

If the HDvM - SN service does not recover after restarting the SVP, stop the service by Storage Device List, and update the storage management software and SVP software.

If the HDvM - SN service does not recover after updating the storage management software and SVP software, change the virtual memory settings, and then restart the SVP.

If the HDvM - SN service still does not recover, uninstall HDvM - SN, install HDvM - SN again, and then register the storage system.

HDvM - SN processing is temporarily delayed. Internal processing (for example, configuration change, P.P. check, operational information acquisition) might be running on the SVP.
Installing of signed SSL certificate fails. The passphrase for the SSL certificate might be set. Release the passphrase. If needed, see Releasing an SSL certificate passphrase.
The message "34062-203102 The storage system is busy." appears during the Syslog settings to send alert notification messages or audit log files.This error occurs while the HDvM - SN service status is Ready. Take actions by following the error message, and then retry the Syslog settings. If this problem occurs again, take either of the following actions, and then retry the settings:
  • Stop the HDvM - SN service, and then restart the service.
  • Restart the SVP.
An error (0002-009000) occurs while you are using HDvM - SN. Another management client might be changing the HDvM - SN settings. Close all windows, check that maintenance personnel are not using the storage system, and then log in to HDvM - SN again.

If other than above, restart the SVP, and then log in to HDvM - SN again.

A message is displayed indicating that the exclusive setting cannot be released, a different user is using the resource, or a different user is locking the resource.Take the following actions:
