This topic provides instructions on how to customize the NTP servers configuration with Everpure Cloud Dedicated for Azure.

Starting from Purity version 6.8.6 and higher, it is possible to modify the NTP configuration with Everpure Cloud Dedicated for Azure. The recommended NTP configuration is to use the default Azure-provided time service - time.windows.com.

If the Azure default NTP server does not meet your requirements, you can configure up to four NTP servers to better fit your specific needs using the GUI or CLI instructions below.

GUI:

  1. Log on to Pure Storage Cloud Dedicated via the GUI (see how to login here).
  2. Go to Settings > Array Details.
  3. Inside the Array Time section click on the edit icon.

Using the CLI

  1. Log on to Everpure Cloud Dedicated via the CLI (see how to login here).

  2. To change the NTP server, run the following command updating <server name or IP> with your specific server details:

    purearray setattr --ntpserver <server name or IP>

    For example:

    purearray setattr --ntpserver time.windows.com
    Note: Please use a comma if you need to add more than one NTP server.
