Configure NTP Synchronisation in Your Environment
To ensure that logs on the source site are easily correlated with the logs on the cloud site, you must
synchronize the time on the vSphere Replication appliance in your environment with an NTP server.
By default, the vSphere Replication appliance is synchronized with the ESXi host on which it resides. If the
ESXi host is synchronized with an NTP server, you do not have to congure the vSphere Replication
appliance.
Procedure
1 If the ESXi host on which the vSphere Replication appliance resides is not synchronized with an NTP
server, congure NTP synchronization on the vSphere Replication appliance.
a In the vSphere inventory tree, locate the vSphere Replication appliance, right click and select Edit
.
b On the VM Options tab, click VMware Tools.
c Deselect the Synchronize guest time with host check box.
d To congure the vSphere Replication appliance to synchronize with an NTP server, edit
the /etc/ntp.conf le to enter the address of an NTP server, and run the service ntp start
command in the command line utility.
2 Congure the vCenter Server on the source site to synchronize with an NTP server.
