You can use the SetNtpInfo method to configure NTP on cluster nodes. The values you set with this interface apply to all nodes in the cluster. If an NTP broadcast server periodically broadcasts time information on your network, you can optionally configure nodes as broadcast clients.

SolidFire Enterprise SDS does not support this method. If you use this method on a SolidFire eSDS system, the method will return an error.

Parameters

Ensure that you use NTP servers that are internal to your network, rather than the installation defaults.

This method has the following input parameters:

Name	Description	Type	Default value	Required
servers	List of NTP servers to add to each node NTP configuration.	string array	None	Yes
