CHAPTER 5: MENU OPTIONS 93 this access type is a host system with IPMI V1.5 and a network adapter with a sideband connection to the BMC (mostly on board). In the IPMI Settings you have to enter the IP address of this host system, the user name of a valid IPMI account and password for this account. You can also access other IPMI systems if you enter their IP address. Date/Time This link refers to a page where the internal realtime clock of the ARMC/3P can be set up (see Figure 86). You have the possibility to adjust the clock manually or to use a NTP time server. Without a time server your time setting will not be persistent, so you have to adjust it again after the ARMC/3P loses power for more than a few minutes. To avoid this you can use a NTP time server which sets up the internal clock automatically to the current UTC time. Because NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting that allows you to set up a static offset to get your local time. Important: There is currently no way to adjust the daylight saving time automatically. So you have to set up the UTC offset twice a year properly to the local rules of your country. Figure 86 Date and Time Authentication With the ARMC/3P you have the possibility to use either a local authentication or keep the information in a central LDAP directory or in a RADIUS server. For LDAP or RADIUS you have to specify some information in the Authentication settings panel. For more information regarding the LDAP and RADIUS settings see below.
