Solace Community is getting a facelift!

On March 3rd we will be starting the process of migrating Solace Community to a new platform. As a result, Solace Community will go in to a temporary read-only state. You will still be able to come onto Solace Community and search through posts to find answers, but you won't be able to ask questions, post comments, or react in any way.

We hope to have the migration complete by Wednesday March 5th (or sooner), so please keep an eye out!

Which SolOs support 2 NTP Server (Active/Backup) configuration for Appliance ?

This is required for redundancy purpose, I know workaround but more interested to know if in recent SolOs we have such feature!

    @Abhishek , I don't believe multiple NTP servers are supported (yet) on Solace appliances. Just curious .. whats the workaround you have in mind?

    @nram we can leverage Virtual IP Address.
    VIP will be mapped with 2 NTP Server (Active/Backup).

    I am confirming that configuration of multiple NTP servers is not currently supported on SolOS appliances.

    @Abhikesh I believe you could go this route as from a Solace Broker perspective it will just recognize the VIP as one NTP server. That said, there are some considerations to this approach in general - there is a concise summary here: https://serverfault.com/questions/805939/ntp-high-availability-behind-a-virtual-ip

    Thanks @marc, after reading this https://serverfault.com/questions/805939/ntp-high-availability-behind-a-virtual-ip, It seems VIP NTP will do more harm than good if proper considerations didn't taken..
