Domain Name Service (DNS) is required to fetch both forward and reverse name resolution. The IP
addresses of name servers, search domains, and hostnames of all the Bitfusion appliance virtual machines
should be tested and verified for both forward and reverse lookups. Test the DNS entries using their Fully
Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and their short name or hostname.
Time synchronization is critical to the Bitfusion server appliances. All the GPU hosts, client clusters and
Bitfusion appliance virtual machines are synchronized to a reference time source. Network Time Protocol
(NTP) traffic is routed from client to source or it can travel over the same L2 network.
