Verify/synch date and time on all nms servers

[chad_c]

i am running 6 HP3440 nnm servers. please assist on how to verify and synch the date and time on these boxes.

You need to setup NTP on each of these servers. Typically, you setup 2 NTP servers on your network and these can use readily available internet time sources. Pick at least 3 external time servers (or use a GPS based timeserver) and then let your boxes be clients to your inernal time servers. This will give you time synced easily to within very small fractions of a second.

By the way, since you don't seem familiar with NTP, you can set it up using SAM. I do suggest that you read /usr/share/doc/NTP_Primer.txt; it is a very good starting point and let's you understand the underlying mechanisms. Also note that NTP generates very little network traffic and is not a noticable load on a box as either a client or a server. This has been the standard UNIX mechanism for decades.
