'Servers' should still work but it was changed to 'NTP' quite a while ago... Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Bumiller <w.bumiller@proxmox.com>

The {pve} cluster stack itself relies heavily on the fact that all
|
|
the nodes have precisely synchronized time. Some other components,
|
|
like Ceph, also refuse to work properly if the local time on nodes is
|
|
not in sync.
|
|
|
|
Time synchronization between nodes can be achieved with the ``Network
|
|
Time Protocol'' (`NTP`). {pve} uses `systemd-timesyncd` as NTP client
|
|
by default, preconfigured to use a set of public servers. This setup
|
|
works out of the box in most cases.

|
Using Custom NTP Servers
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
In some cases, it might be desired to not use the default NTP
|
|
servers. For example, if your {pve} nodes do not have access to the
|
|
public internet (e.g., because of restrictive firewall rules), you
|
|
need to setup local NTP servers and tell `systemd-timesyncd` to use
|
|
them:
|
|
|
|
.File `/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf`
|
|
----
|
|
[Time]
|
|
NTP=ntp1.example.com ntp2.example.com ntp3.example.com ntp4.example.com
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
After restarting the synchronization service (`systemctl restart
|
|
systemd-timesyncd`) you should verify that your newly configured NTP
|
|
servers are used by checking the journal (`journalctl --since -1h -u
|
|
systemd-timesyncd`):
