Welcome to our comprehensive tutorial on configuring an NTP Server in PowerProtect Data Manager UI. Accurate date and time settings are crucial for generating precise reports and ensuring seamless component communication. In this video, we guide you through the process of setting up an NTP server and selecting the appropriate time zones for both the user interface and the server. Follow along to ensure your system is synchronized and compliant.
WEBVTT Welcome to this tutorial on configuring an NTP Server in PowerProtect Data Manager UI. If PowerProtect Data Manager is configured to use both IPv4 and IPv6, setting an NTP server and time zone is essential for accurate date and time information in reports. Let's get started.
First, open the PowerProtect Data Manager UI. Click on Settings, then select Time Zone. From the User Interface Time Zone list, choose the applicable time zone for the user interface. If a specific time zone is set here, it will override the web browser's time zone when displaying information.
Next, from the Server Time Zone list, select the time zone used by PowerProtect Data Manager. This time zone is crucial for component communication. o modify the NTP server, click the + button. In the NTP Servers field, enter the hostname or IP address of your NTP server.
Finally, click Save to apply the changes. And that's it! You've successfully configured an NTP Server in PowerProtect Data Manager UI. A few important notes to keep in mind: The PowerProtect Data Manager system is configured to use an NTP server to synchronize time across Search Engine nodes in a multi-node cluster.
The system time is synchronized with the ESXi host system. Ensure the system time matches those of the systems it interfaces with to avoid compliance check failures. It's recommended that all systems use an NTP server. The NTP server uses port 123, so make sure this port is open to prevent any issues.
Thank you for watching.
