NOTE
The SNTP client must be disabled on an appliance in order to change its date or time manually. If SNTP is
enabled, the date and time change operation will fail.
To change the date and time:
1 Make sure that the SNTP client is disabled on the target appliances. There are two ways to disable the
SNTP client setting: from the Appliance editor’s Advanced tab, or from the Edit menu, Multiple
Configurations > SNTP Client.
2 In the Appliance Manager, select the target appliances in the Appliances view.
3On the Edit menu, click Date.
4 In the New Date window, enter the new date and time,.
5Click Apply to immediately apply the new date and time to the target appliances. The result is
displayed for each appliance. If ETEMS is unable to update the appliance’s clock, it displays the
reason for the failure.
