VMWare vapp ntpd config

I recently moved our help desk over from a windows machine to the standalone vapp, however when logging into the help desk console and viewing the "SolarWinds Mgmt" tab, the NTP status shows synchronised .  Is their any way to configure the ntp server that the ntpd is trying to syncronise with?

  • Yes you can.

    ssh into the appliance using the admin account.

    sudo vi /etc/ntp.conf

    You'll see a list of servers. Update and save the file then you can restart ntpd from the web admin interface (https://url:5480)

  • I don't suppose you know which account i would use to login into the appliance using ssh?  ive tried root and the web admin interfaces password, and ive even tried admin and the web admin interfaces password, however i am told access denied each time.  Searching around, nobody appears to know the root password for the appliance.

  • The username is admin and it should be the web admin interface password.

    If that doesn't work, try the default password of 'admin'

    And yeah, I have no idea on the root password (as it appears to be auto-generated) but since admin can sudo you don't really need it.
