    ntpdate  u <ntp sever ip>

     

    Run this command multiple times, until the time offset is less than one second.

  2. Compare the time on the hardware clock and system time to see if they match. Using these commands:

    hwclock
    date 

     

  3. Set the hardware clock to the same time as the system clock using the command:

    hwclock  w

    Or

    hwclock --systohc
  4. Confirm that the hardware clock is correct by comparing to the hardware clock to the system time.

  1. Access the Appliance management for both through port 5480 using: http://<IP>:5480
  2. Navigate to time
  3. Add NTP server

 IV. Set a time zone for PSC and VCSA.
