4.11 NTP Client Setup
This section describes how to use NTP (Network Time Protocol) based time
correction on the PRIMEQUEST.
NTP is a protocol that defines the method of exchanging time information between
computers. NTP synchronizes the system clock with an accurate reference clock at
system startup, and it then maintains the clock within a certain range of accuracy.
4.11.1 NTP operation on PRIMEQUEST
This section describes how to correct time for each partition using NTP on the
PRIMEQUEST.
The PRIMEQUEST provides NTP client and server functions on the MMB. The
MMB NTP client function allows you to specify up to three individual NTP servers.
Each partition uses the NTP server function on the MMB to adjust the time on the
partition.
However, the MMB need not be specified for the NTP servers in any of the partitions.
For stable NTP operation, specify multiple NTP servers from the NTP client (Fujitsu
recommends at least three).
