Dell EMC VMware Cloud Foundation for PowerEdge MX7000 Deployment Guide

PDF

Network Time Protocol

All components must be synchronized against a common time by using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) on all nodes. Important components of Cloud Foundation, such as vCenter Single Sign-On (SSO), are sensitive to a time drift between distributed components. Synchronized time between the various components also assists with troubleshooting.

Requirements for the NTP sources include the following:
  • The IP addresses of two NTP sources are provided during the initial deployment.
  • The NTP sources must be reachable by all the components in the Cloud Foundation solution.
  • Time skew is less than 5 minutes between NTP sources.
