Allow more than one NTP server in Spectrum Virtualize Products

Most products that require time synchronization allow more than one NTP server to be specified. Spectrum Virtualize products only allow one server and that only via the IP address. Here, IBM has to make improvements and allow more than one server. It should also be possible to specify the FQDN instead of the IP. If an LDAP server is configured, it should also be possible to set the time server of the domain automatically.

    Supported via DNS.

    Customers can configure a DNS entry in DNS server to return a list of IP addresses rather than just one and tolerate one of the NTP servers (IP address) going offline.

    Thanks,
