Synchronizing The NAS Cluster Solution With A Local NTP Server
Network Time Protocol (NTP) helps in synchronizing and coordinating time distribution. The NTP server helps in
synchronizing the clocks over the network.
If the system is not part of a Windows network, configure it to synchronize with a local NTP server (if such a server
exists), or with an NTP server on the Internet. However if the system is part of a windows network, the AD can serve as
the NTP server.
To configure the NAS cluster solution to be synchronized with a local NTP server or an NTP server on the Internet:
1. Select Cluster Management → General → Time Configuration.
The Time Configuration page is displayed.
2. Select Time should be synchronized with an NTP server.
3. Select NTP server.
4. In the NTP server, enter the name of the local NTP server or Internet NTP server.
5. To add a redundant NTP server, click Add NTP server and type the name of the redundant NTP server in the NTP
server field.
6. Click Save Changes.
