0.uk.pool.ntp.org
1.uk.pool.ntp.org
2.uk.pool.ntp.org
Or, for the US, you would use:
0.us.pool.ntp.org
1.us.pool.ntp.org
2.us.pool.ntp.org
Be careful when using country based NTP pool servers, since some countries contain a very limited
number of time servers. In these cases, it is best to use a mix of country and continent based pool
servers. If a country has only one time server, then it is recommended you use a time server pool
based in another nearby country that supports more servers, or use the continent based server pools.
For example, Japan has 6 (six) time servers as of the date this document was published. The
organization that maintains time server pools recommends using the following to specify time
server pools for Japanese locations:
2.jp.pool.ntp.org
0.asia.pool.ntp.org
2.asia.pool.ntp.org
For more information on choosing NTP pool servers, please see the NTP pool server web pages at:

Saving or Restoring Your Configuration
Equalizer enables you to save or back up a configuration or restore a saved configuration.
Saving Your Configuration
Use the Backup/Restore Configuration command to save your Equalizer configuration to a file or to
load a saved configuration.
When you save your configuration, Equalizer wraps up the following information in a binary file:
•
/var/eq/eq.conf, which contains the cluster/server configurations that appear in the left
pane of the administrative interface.
•
/var/eq/envoy.conf, which is the Envoy configuration (if Envoy is installed); it contains
geographic cluster and site information from the left pane of the administrative interface.
•
/var/eq/licenses, which contains licensing information.
• Configuration files from
/etc (including hosts, master.passwd, ntp.conf, passwd,
rc.conf-eq, resolv.conf, syslog.conf) and /etc/ssh (including ssh_config,
sshd_config, and host keys).
Note – Equalizer passwords are not saved or restored, but IP configuration, clusters, and failover
information are saved.
