What are the consequenc​es of setting NTP servers in EBIPA for Interconne​ct bays?

[diegomartin]

Hi,

I want to setup EBIPA addresses to my VirtualConnect devices in a c7000 enclosure G3.

I see a difference against EBIPA settings for Device Bays: In the Interconnect Bays EBIPA settings you have the option of adding NTP servers.

What happens if I don´t write NTP servers in there?? From where the VirtualConnect will get the date/time info?. I cannot find anything in the HP manuals.

What are the recommendations, to write on the EBIPA settings the same NTP servers used for the enclosure?

Thanks

IIRC virtual connect get the time from OA, other interconnects may use this setting.

thanks Torsten.

You mean then that leaving in blank the 'NTP servers' field on EBIPA  Interconnect settings (but filling the rest of the fields), the VCs will get date/time from OA?

BR,
