Setting Up The NTP Servers

Network Time Protocol (NTP) can be used to synchronize the virtual appliance clocks to that of a NTP server.

To set up the NTP servers:

  1. Launch a browser window, and enter the Administration Portal URL displayed in the vSphere vCenter Console tab for the virtual machine you want to configure or use the link from Dell Management Console > Settings page. The URL uses the following format and is case sensitive:

    https://<ApplianceIPAddress>

  2. In the left pane, click APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT.

  3. Click Edit for NTP.

  4. Select the Enabled check box. Enter the host name or IP address for a Preferred and Secondary NTP Server and click Apply.

  5. To exit, click Cancel.
