Configuring time zone and NTP settings

On the Time Zone and NTP Settings page of the Initial Setup wizard, you can set the time zone of the virtual appliance that hosts ASM and configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers used for time synchronization.
  • NOTE: Configuring NTP adjusts your ASM system time. If the time is adjusted forward it will end your current user session. The time will sync 5-10 minutes after this step. If this occurs, log in to ASM again and continue with the setup process.
  • NOTE: When adding NTP server settings in the OS section of a server component, if more than one NTP server is necessary, make sure to separate the IP addresses by a comma (,)
  1. On the Time Zone and NTP Settings page of the Initial Setup wizard, from the Time Zone drop-down list, select the time zone in which the virtual appliance operates.
  2. To synchronize the time with the NTP server, enter the IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of a Preferred NTP Server and Secondary NTP Server (optional).
  3. Click Save and Continue.
After the initial setup is complete, to change NTP server information, click Setting > Virtual Appliance Management . On the Virtual Appliance Management page, click Edit in the Time Zone and NTP Settings section.
