Configure the NTP server for the virtual appliance installation

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol that is designed to accurately synchronize local time clocks with networked time servers. We can configure an NTP server to ensure that your virtual appliance is synchronized with the NTP server, which is required for cluster management.

We must have connectivity to at least one server running NTP.

See Manage the date and time settings to configure the NTP server for the virtual appliance installation.
