Synopsis

Configures the time synchronization mode (NTP or host sync), NTP server list, polling interval, and display locale on the HPE OneView appliance.

​
Syntax

Sync with hypervisor host: 
Set-OVApplianceDateTime
    -SyncWithHost
    [-Locale <String>]
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]
Configure NTP servers: 
Set-OVApplianceDateTime
    -NTPServers <Array>
    [-PollingInterval <Int>]
    [-Locale <String>]
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

​
Description

Set-OVApplianceDateTime configures the time synchronization settings of the HPE OneView appliance. Two modes are supported:
  • SyncWithHost: The appliance synchronizes its clock with the underlying hypervisor host. No NTP servers are needed.
  • NTPServers: The appliance uses the provided NTP server list to synchronize time. An optional polling interval (in seconds) can be specified.
In both modes, the display locale can be set independently using -Locale. The supported locale values are en_US (English), zh_CN (Simplified Chinese), and ja_JP (Japanese).

​
Parameters

​
SyncWithHost
Switch
required
Configures the appliance to synchronize time with the hypervisor host instead of NTP servers. Mutually exclusive with -NTPServers. Required in the SyncHost parameter set.
​
NTPServers
Array
required
An array of NTP server hostnames or IP addresses. Required in the NTPServers parameter set. Example: @('ntp1.domain.com', '192.168.1.1').
​
PollingInterval
Int
The NTP polling interval in seconds. Only valid when -NTPServers is specified.
​
Locale
String
The display locale for the appliance UI. Valid values: en_US, zh_CN, ja_JP. Optional in both parameter sets.
​
ApplianceConnection
Object
Specifies the HPE OneView appliance connection(s) to configure. Defaults to the default connection from ${Global:ConnectedSessions}. Alias: Appliance.

​
Examples

Example 1: Configure NTP servers 
Set-OVApplianceDateTime -NTPServers @('ntp1.domain.com', 'ntp2.domain.com')
Configures the appliance to synchronize time using the two specified NTP servers. Example 2: Configure NTP with a custom polling interval and locale 
Set-OVApplianceDateTime \
    -NTPServers @('pool.ntp.org') \
    -PollingInterval 3600 \
    -Locale 'en_US'
Sets a single NTP server with a 1-hour polling interval and English locale. Example 3: Synchronize with the hypervisor host clock 
Set-OVApplianceDateTime -SyncWithHost
Configures the appliance to use the hypervisor host as the time source. Example 4: Change locale only (preserving existing NTP config) 
Set-OVApplianceDateTime -SyncWithHost -Locale 'ja_JP'
Sets the appliance display locale to Japanese while keeping host sync enabled.

​
Output

HPEOneView.Appliance.ApplianceLocaleDateTime Returns the updated date/time configuration object after the change is applied.
