2. Configuration of New NTP Server

2.1. Prerequisites API

  • The new NTP server(s) to be configured should be reachable from SDDC components.

  • The new NTP server(s) should be able to do NTP sync from SDDC Manager.

  • All SDDC components should be reachable from SDDC manager.

  • All SDDC components state should be active as per SDDC Manager.

  • The new server should be NTP synced from the SDDC Manager.
