Dell EMC PowerProtect DDVE in the Azure Cloud 7.8 Installation and Administration Guide

Setting up NTP time synchronization in Azure

It is important that the time on the DDVE instance is correctly synchronized. Any drift in time might impact the object store communication.

About this task

System time is required for secure communication. We recommend that you sync time with the NTP server for DDVE in Azure. While performing initial configuration of the DDVE system, you can enable NTP and configure the NTP server. If you do not use the CLI configuration wizard to perform initial configuration, you can use the ntp enable command on the DDOS command line. For more information about time sync for Linux VMs in Azure, refer to Time sync for Linux VMs in Azure.

Steps

  1. Under Administration, select Settings.
  2. Select More Tasks > Configure Time Settings.
  3. Under NTP, select Manually Configure and add your own NTP servers.
  4. Using CLI, run the following commands to configure NTP on DDVE.
    • ntp add timeserver
    • ntp enable
    • ntp sync
