For iLO 5 Firmware Version 1.15 Aug 17 2017 or earlier：Does not enable this
option and leave it as default.
Primary Time Server
Configures iLO to use a primary time server with the specified address. You can enter the
server address by using the server FQDN, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address.
Secondary Time Server
Configures iLO to use a secondary time server with the specified address. You can enter the
server address by using the server FQDN, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address.
Time Zone
Determines how iLO adjusts UTC time to obtain the local time, and how it adjusts for Daylight
Savings Time (Summer Time). In order for the entries in the iLO Event Log and IML to display
the correct local time, you must specify the server location time zone, and select Show Local
Time in the iLO Event Log and IML display filters.
If you want iLO to use the time the SNTP server provides, without adjustment, select a time
zone that does not apply an adjustment to UTC time. In addition, that time zone must not
apply a Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time) adjustment. There are several time zones that fit
this requirement. One example that you can select in iLO is Greenwich (GMT). If you select
this time zone, the iLO web interface pages and log entries display the exact time provided by
the SNTP server.
NOTE:
Configure the NTP servers to use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
iLO clock synchronization
SNTP allows iLO to synchronize its clock with an external time source. Configuring SNTP is
optional because the iLO date and time can also be synchronized from the following sources:
• System ROM (during POST only)
Primary and secondary NTP server addresses can be configured manually or through DHCP
servers. If the primary server address cannot be contacted, the secondary address is used.
DHCP NTP address selection
When you use DHCP servers to provide NTP server addresses, the iLO Client Applications use
IPv6 first setting on the IPv6 page controls the selection of the primary and secondary NTP
values. When iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first is selected, a DHCPv6-provided NTP service
