hello all,
I have joined my vcenter to domain , and right now i want to synch vcenter 6.5 with active directory clock time, but i don't see that option
Active Directory synchronization as mentioned in the following url: How to Synchronize the vCenter Server Appliance Clock with an NTP Server. | Dell US
so from where i can see this option . Thank you
The shared link is related to VMware vSphere 5.5 environment. but yours is 6.5 which has 3 options : Disabled, Host and NTP.
Configure the System Time Zone and Time Synchronization Settings
You can configure your domain controller to become as an NTP server and then define it in VCSA.
Hey, hope you are doing fine
If your vCenter is windows based NTP settings are inherited from OS.
If you are using a VCSA (linux based) you can do the following po9inting the Active directory domain controller as NTP servers
Add or Replace NTP Servers in the vCenter Server Appliance Configuration
Hope that works
Warm regards
Thanks much , i configured ntp on windows server and added it to vcsa and 2 hosts and it worked fine
but i notice that there's a difference like 3 min between host one and host two , i stop and start NTP service on both hosts but still there is difference in minutes even i added the same ntp server on both.
so is this normal ?
can you please share a screenshot of the NTP configurtation on both hosts?
are all on the same network?
yes sir,
They all on same vlan and same network gateway
check the screen shot for ntp configuration on two hosts ,
host : sa-01
host sa-02
