Synchronizing time across cluster nodes

Last published : Sep 24, 2026
The cluster uses a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to synchronize the time across cluster nodes. PTP uses multicast packets to synchronize the time. If there are some issues in time synchronization, you must disable PTP and configure Network Time Protocol (NTP) on the cluster.
