How to configure NTP time server to ECX or IBM Spectrum CDM
Step By Step
Install NTP on the ECX/IBM Spectrum CDM appliance:
- using the command "yum install ntp"

First we need to keep synchronize time of this server. For this we will use NTP POOL cluster servers to synchronize time of local system. NTP POOL project is providing large number of cluster servers. Lets edit NTP configuration file and update following values
# vim /etc/ntp.conf
