An administrator has been notified that a number of hosts are not compliant with the company policy for time synchronization.
The relevant portion of the policy states:
- All physical servers must synchronize time with an external time source that is accurate to the microsecond. Which step should the administrator take to ensure compliance with the policy?
- Ensure that each vCenter Server Appliance is configured to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) source.
- Ensure that each ESXi host is configured to use a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) source.
- Ensure that each ESXi host is configured to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) source.
- Ensure that each vCenter Server Appliance is configured to use a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) source.
Answer(s): B
Explanation:
To comply with the policy of synchronizing time with an external source that is accurate to the microsecond, the administrator needs to ensure that each ESXi host is configured to use a PTP source, which provides higher accuracy than NTP.
