Configuring the NTP Client

You install the NTP client service on each service node in your cloud deployment.

How to Configure the NTP Client

This section assumes that you have already set up the NTP server as explained in How to Set Up the NTP Server.

1. Create the client configuration file.

   controller# cp /etc/inet/ntp.client /etc/inet/ntp.conf

2. In the client configuration file, uncomment one or more of the server options and provide the specific name or the IP address of the NTP server.

   For example, if the host name of the NTP server you configured is system1, the configuration file would resemble the following example:

   # multicastclient 224.0.1.1
   ...
   server system1.example.com iburst
   # server server_name2 iburst
   # server server_name3 iburst

3. Enable the ntp service.

   controller# svcadm enable ntp
