How to set NTP server
For RecoverPoint versions 3.1 and later:
Use NTP menu option from the boxmgmt menu.
Make a list of all Consistency Groups (CG). Take note on which RPA each CG is running.
Note! This is an extremely important step as the information will be used to restore Consistency Groups.
Take note and record your site’s NTP server IP address.
Connect to the RPA GUI and move all groups off the RPA you wish to correct the NTP time.
Login as boxmgmt user to problem RPA.
[2] Setup
[8] Advanced options
[13] Set time via NTP or [9] Set time via NTP
Perform the same steps if needed on other RPAs ensuring that the consistency groups are moved off the RPA before applying the setting.
Re-balance the Consistency Groups across RPA's as per step 1.
Make sure the time on your RPA is correct
SSH into your RPA (as a user, not boxmgmt)
type set_time_display
select 1 for local
type get_current_time
repeat for each RPA in your environment

as this is the first google result for 'recoverpoint change ntp' I thought I'd make a comment as this is a bit misleading and I had to work it out the hard way, 'Set time via NTP' only does what it says.. sets the time once off via NTP. To permanently change the NTP you need to remove the RPA from the cluster, modify the config, skipping ip address, subnet, dns etc, update the ntp for one site, save the change, apply the config, rejoin to the cluster (requires a reboot) then for each additional RPA, remove it from the cluster, 'get remote settings' to suck the config from the server you just modified, rejoin to cluster, rebalance CG's.
ReplyDeleteAlso note that you can set the NTP for one site only.
Refer to the Recoverpoint Installation Guide chapter on 'Changing Installation Parameters' for a full process for changing these settings.
