Recently I had to add more NTP servers to a HP 3PAR 7200c storage. Here’s how I did it:
3PAR_hostname cli% setnet ntp -add 10.90.221.13
NTP server successfully updated.
Show current NTP server(s):
3PAR_hostname cli% shownet
IP Address Netmask/PrefixLen Nodes Active Speed Duplex AutoNeg Status
10.23.155.8 255.255.255.192 01 1 1000 Full Yes Active
Default route : 10.23.155.1
NTP server : {} 10.102.102.132 10.102.102.133 10.90.221.13
DNS server : None
Remove one NTP server:
3PAR_hostname cli% setnet ntp -remove 10.90.221.13
NTP server successfully updated.
3PAR_hostname cli% shownet
IP Address Netmask/PrefixLen Nodes Active Speed Duplex AutoNeg Status
10.23.155.8 255.255.255.192 01 1 1000 Full Yes Active
Default route : 10.23.155.1
NTP server : {} 10.102.102.132 10.102.102.133
DNS server : None
3PAR_hostname cli%
You can’t add more than 1 server at a time:
3PAR_hostname cli% setnet ntp -add 10.90.221.13 10.90.221.29 10.90.221.45
setnet: Incorrect number of arguments.
And the maximum ammount of severs is 4, in case you were asking:
3PAR_hostname cli% setnet ntp -add 10.90.221.61
Cannot configure more than 4 NTP servers.
3PAR_hostname cli% setnet ntp -remove 10.102.102.132
NTP server successfully updated.
That’s it! That simple. More info can be found in the original documentation
