Basic System Configuration
This chapter covers the fundamental settings that define your vStor system's identity and basic operational parameters. These settings are crucial for the overall functioning of your vStor environment.
General
Async snapshot creation timeout
Sets the maximum time (in seconds) vStor will wait for an asynchronous snapshot creation operation to complete before marking it as failed.
Configuration retention time
Specifies how long (in days) vStor will retain configuration backups.
Dashboard refresh time
Sets the interval (in seconds) for automatically updating the vStor dashboard.
Mount file systems limit
Sets the maximum number of file systems simultaneously mountable during agentless file restores.
Mounted file system volume retention timeout
Controls the default time (in minutes) that a mounted volume from an agentless file restore will remain accessible.
NFS server threads
Controls the number of threads dedicated to the NFS server for improved performance.
Schedule timezone
Sets the timezone used for replication and AutoSnapshot schedules.
Snapshot creation timeout
Sets the maximum time (in seconds) vStor will wait for a snapshot creation operation to complete before marking it as failed.
Volume creation timeout
Sets the maximum time (in seconds) vStor will wait for a volume creation operation to complete before marking it as failed.
Host
This section allows you to configure the hostname and domain name of your vStor system.
Hostname
The primary name assigned to your vStor system. This name should be unique within your network and adhere to hostname naming conventions.
Domain Name
The domain name that your vStor system belongs to.
Time
By default, vStor uses your machine's locale to determine the current time. To configure NTP settings:
NTP Servers
Provide the address of your preferred NTP server.
NTP Time
Allows you to manually set the system time. Enter the desired time in ISO 8601 format, which includes the date, time, and timezone offset.
Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSSSS+HH:MM
Example: 2024-09-18T05:16:33.135311-04:00
This represents:
Date: 2024-09-18 (September 18, 2024)
Time: 05:16:33.135311 (5:16 AM, 33 seconds, and microseconds)
Timezone offset: -04:00 (4 hours behind UTC)
NTP Timezone
Choose a new timezone from the dropdown list.
Changing NTP server using vStor CLI
Use the following command to configure NTP settings:
