I. First add the NTP to all the ESXi hosts by following the below Steps.

Connect to the ESX/ESXi host using the vSphere Client.

  1. Select a host in the inventory.
  2. Click the Configuration tab.
  3. Click Time Configuration.
  4. Click Properties.
  5. Click Options.
  6. Click NTP Settings.
  7. Click Add

 II. Add the NTP to the VxRail Manager (VXM) by following the below Steps.

  1. Set the system time using the NTP server on the VxRail Manager using the root user. 

    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.  

 III. Add NTP to VCSA and PSC.

  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.

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