NTP Viprion (VCMP)

Hello,   We have a Viprion with several guests running on it. I wonder is it really necessary to define NTP servers on the guests or is it syncing from the clock of the VCMP host   Without NT...

Hello Luc

 

Yes, it is necessary to define NTP servers on the guest. The guests are supposed to be pretty much 'independent' boxes like when you create a new VM on VMware for example.

 

If you need NTP on the guests, forget about the host and set them there.

 

Thanks,

Rodrigo
