To synchronize the system clock to the DTI server time, enter the fenet time sync command in configuration mode. This command requires the Admin role.
This command retrieves the time (in UTC) from the DTI server and then synchronizes the system clock to it. This command is especially useful if you do not use NTP servers to synchronize your system clock.
The system time should match the DTI server time as closely as possible. This is necessary for features such as the license update service, in which licenses are downloaded from the DTI server and installed on the appliance. We recommend that you perform this synchronization before you enable the feature to prevent time gaps that could affect the validity of your licenses.
Note
This action synchronizes the system clock to the DTI server a single time. It does not change the system timezone.
For more information, see the time management and license management sections of the System Administration Guide for your appliance.
