- Compare the time on the hardware clock and system time to see if they match. ' hwclock ' and ' date '
- Check that you are able to log into the VxRail Manager GUI.
- Set the hardware clock to the same time as the system clock using the command; hwclock –w ' or ' hwclock --systohc '
- Confirm that the hardware clock is correct by comparing to the hardware clock to the system time.
- Add NTP to VCSA and PSC
