4.6 Synchronization of the system time using NTP
In CentricStor the configuration with regard to NTP is carried out automatically, which
means that the file /etc/ntp.conf is created with the appropriate entries for each
computer.
It is no longer necessary for the system administrator to modify the files.
Exceptions
– If the first NTP server (VTLS Message Manager) is to be configured as the NTP client
of an NTP server in an external LAN, the appropriate entry must be made by hand in the
/etc/ntp.conf
file on this computer.
– If the files /etc/ntp.conf are not to be updated automatically (because the computer
has been specially onfigured with regard to NTP, the entry #static must be made in
the /etc/ntp.conf file for all computers. If this is the case, these files will not be
modified.
CAUTION!
CMF is based on a correct time setting. An incorrect NTP configuration can result
in data loss.
