2. Enter the tsClockServer command:
switch:admin> tsClockServer “<ntp1;ntp2>”
where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be able
to access. The second ntp2 is the second NTP server and is optional. The operand
“<ntp1;ntp2>” is optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock of the
principal or primary switch as the clock server.
The tsClockServer command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4, IPv6, or DNS
name formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed, tsClockServer sets the first
obtainable address as the active NTP server. The rest will be stored as backup servers that can
take over if the active NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time
with the NTP server every 64 seconds.
switch:admin> tsClockServer
LOCLx
switch:admin> tsClockServer "132.163.135.131"
switch:admin> tsClockServer
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:
switch:admin> tsClockServer
"10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"
Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers
Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all
switches in the fabric.
Verifying the configuration
To confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use:
1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns,
see Table 11.
2. Issue the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides information
about the switch and port status.
3. Issue the fabricshow command from the workstation. This command provides general
information about the fabric.
Backing up the configuration
HP recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent configuration is available.
To back up the switch configuration to an FTP server:
1. Issue the configupload command.
2. Follow the prompts.
