Setting the Time

The system time is displayed by the RMU and it is used internally when logging events and errors. The system time is either regular time or power-on time.

Regular time is Month/Date/Year Time, such as Nov/21/2004 19:28. Power-on time is Power On Cycles (POC)/Power On Hours (POH). For example, POC: 00121,

POH: 00002:07:45 where POC is the number of times the system has booted since it was manufactured, and POH is the number of hours, minutes, and

seconds since the last system boot. If regular time is known, it will be used, otherwise power-on time is used.

The PowerVault 124T autoloader must be reset after each power up. The time can be reset automatically if a time server is configured (see "Setting the Time

Server").
