Synchronize the system clocks by using NTP

Edit online

The cron command checks the NTP status every minute:
  • If the Manager clock cannot synchronize to an external clock, it generates an error in the Event Console .
  • If the non-Manager clock is not synchronizing to the Manager clock, it generates an error.
  • The Manager Allowed Clock Difference Policy is 11 seconds. The table describes messages that are based on these values.
    Table 1. Message and location
    Message Appears
    System time is not synchronized (difference: xxx). On the Monitor Device page.
    Device clock is not synchronized. On the Event Console every minute when the clock is unsynchronized.
    Note: If the device clocks are synchronizing, but are off by less than 10 seconds, the clocks drift by using existing NTP logic and no error messages are generated.
