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.
