About working with VME Manager

[dya]

- Can I run apt update and apt upgrade just like in normal Ubuntu? Is there a special way to do this?

- Can I set the time zone and NTP server just like in normal Ubuntu? Is there a special way to do this?

That's all

1)

Patching of the base Ubuntu operating system is the responsibility of the customer in the case of the standalone version of HPE VM Essentials. HPE VM Essentials will install and hold the required packages (i.e. - KVM, QEMU, OvS, etc.) so that running an apt update will not patch/update the VME associated packages. Updates to the VME associated packages will be performed as part of a VME update process

2)

When  HPE VM Essentials console installation is complete. Enter the console with the following command: hpe-vm.
Select keyboard layout/ Time zone to set these.

3)

To set NTP,  use this file.

sudo vi /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf

Thank you.

It seems best not to log in to the VME Manager and run apt update and apt upgrade.

I was asking about setting the time zone and NTP server by logging in to the VME Manager, not the VME host.

For now, I thought there was no problem with the time zone and NTP server settings, so I'll log in to the VME Manager and set them.

Running apt update/upgrade on the VME manager is fine. It may ask to restart services though, and you either want to select cancel to skip that or ensure that Morpheus is stopped at that time.

All of the required packages for VME Manager/Morpheus are embedded and not controlled by apt/yum.
Same for NTP and TZ.  You can freely change this on the system.
