Configuring a time server

Last Updated : Aug 13, 2018 |

About this task

By default, Avaya SBC OVA synchronizes time with the NTP server of the ESXi host if the VMWare tools are installed and running on the system. To configure a different time server for Avaya SBC, disable the SYNC options for VMware tools on the Avaya SBC virtual machine. Use this procedure to configure servers for different Avaya SBC virtual machines when you have different NTP servers across locations
