-
To verify that the NTP servers are reachable, run the following command.The command returns the status of the NTP servers
2. Next, enable time synchronization for
vCenter Serverto use NTP serversYou can configure the time synchronization settings in the following location:
vCenter Serverwill be based on NTP servers.
-
Run the command to verify that NTP synchronization was applied successfully.The information returned by the command shows that time synchronization is in NTP mode.
