Task 1—Configuring NTP
Before you perform any operations on the Prime Network Services Controller system, configure Network Time Protocol (NTP) on
Prime Network Services Controller, ASA 1000V, VSG, and VSM. NTP must be configured with a working NTP server. If you do
not configure these items with a working NTP server, the following will occur:
Prime Network Services Controller, ASA 1000V, VSG, and VSM. NTP must be configured with a working NTP server. If you do
not configure these items with a working NTP server, the following will occur:
• You will need to manually configure the ASA 1000V, VSG, and VSM components for the date and time or they will not be
able to register with Prime Network Services Controller.
• InterCloud functionality will not work because the AWS API requires the request time to be within a few seconds of the current
time.
For information on configuring NTP, see the following topics:
•
Configuring NTP in VMs, on page 14
•
Configuring NTP in VMs
Configure NTP on all VMs using the information in the following table.
Do this:
For this VM:
Hyper-V Hypervisor
If Prime Network Services Controller is installed on Hyper-V
Hypervisor, ensure that all Hyper-V hosts and SCVMM are
in time synch with a common NTP server.

VMware
Before you install ASA 1000V in Prime Network Services
Controller, configure NTP on all ESX and ESXi servers that
run ASA 1000V. For information, see "Configuring Network
Time Protocol (NTP) on ESX/ESXi 4.1 and ESXi 5.0 hosts
using the vSphere Client" at

.
After installation, the ASA 1000V receives the Real Time
Clock (RTC) value from the VMware ESX or ESXi host.

Configure the NTP server in the Prime Network Services
Controller GUI by choosing InterCloud Management >
InterCloud Policies > Device Profiles. You can add the NTP
server to the existing default device profile or create a new
device profile with the required NTP server.

InterCloud Extender VM
When instantiating the InterCloud extender and InterCloud
switch in Prime Network Services Controller using the
InterCloud Link Wizard, select the correct device profile (with
an NTP server configured) in the wizard to use for that
instantiation.
