IOS NTP with VSOM/VSMS problems

[ahmed_ellboudy]

Dear All,

I have customer that have an enterprice Cisco VS solution, the problem is now in adjusting the NTP on the VSOM/VSMS servers ,as we adjust them to use the IOS NTP of the BB , we now get differences in the times on most servers which reflects on the archived videos.

So, can you help in sending me the guide or steps to make the NTP from IOS with the VS servers?

Thanks,

Ahmed Ellboudy

Hi ahmed,

          to avoid time difference you can configure your server and IP camera , client machine to point to NTP server .

for VSOM, VSMS server suse Yast can be used to configure NTP
for cisco IP camera NTP setting can be done using basic configuration menu.

Dear Ahmed ,

After applying the usual NTP Configuration , Please perform the following to be able to Synchronize  the Servers ( VSMS + VSOM ) to the NTP Clock:

Note: The following will adjust the Clock according to EGYPT / Cairo Local Time:

1 - Login to " YAST"  == " SYSTEM " === " Date & Time "

2 - From " Date & Time " Window adjust the following Parameters:

Region = Global

Time Zone = GMT

Hardware Clock Set to = UTC

3 - Accept.

4 - Use the Console and Run the following Command to Restart the NTP Service instead of Re-Booting the Server to Synchronize with the NTP Server:

/etc/init.d/ntp restart
