Verifying the system clock

In Messaging, you can perform certain time-dependent tasks with the use of the Linux system clock. For example, you can place a time stamp on voice messages and schedule a backup of critical system data.

When you install the system, the clock is set. However, check the clock when you administer your storage server initially. You must also check the clock every month and during a change in Daylight Savings Time.

TipTip

Use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to maintain accurate system time.

WarningWarning

If there is a time difference between the storage server and the application servers, the time difference might cause problems with message delivery and replication between the servers.

Before you begin

Ensure Messaging is running by clicking on the Administration menu, and clicking Messaging > Utilities > Start Messaging. If Messaging is running, the system displays the Messaging is already started message.

Procedure

On the Administration menu, click Server (Maintenance) > Server > Server Date/Time.

The system displays the current date, time, and timezone.

For information on changing the system time, see Administering Avaya Aura® System Platform.
