Reconfigure NTP on VMware Aria Automation for Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation

To keep the cluster nodes synchronized with the other SDDC components in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance, you configure the time synchronization as a cluster wide setting in the VMware Aria Automation cluster to use NTP sources from each VMware Cloud Foundation instance.

Procedure

1. Log in to the primary VMware Aria Automation node by using a Secure Shell (SSH) client at <aria_automation_primary_node_fqdn>:22 as root.

2. Configure the NTP source of the VMware Aria Automation cluster according to your VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook by running the command.

   vracli ntp systemd --set <ntp_server_list>

   Note:

   You can add multiple NTP servers by separating their network addresses with a comma. Each network address must be placed inside single quotation marks. For example vracli ntp systemd --set 'ntp.sfo.rainpole.io','ntp.lax.rainpole.io'

3. To validate the NTP configuration, run the command.

   vracli ntp show-config
