AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Configuring VMware for Storage Gateway
Synchronizing VM Time with Host Time
To successfully activate your gateway, you must ensure that your VM time is synchronized to the host
time, and that the host time is correctly set. In this section, you first synchronize the time on the VM to
the host time. Then you check the host time and, if needed, set the host time and configure the host to
synchronize its time automatically to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Important
Synchronizing the VM time with the host time is required for successful gateway activation.
To synchronize VM time with host time
1. Configure your VM time.
a. In the vSphere client, open the context (right-click) menu for your gateway VM, and choose Edit
Settings.
The Virtual Machine Properties dialog box opens.
b. Choose the Options tab, and choose VMware Tools in the options list.
c. Check the Synchronize guest time with host option, and then choose OK.
The VM synchronizes its time with the host.
2. Configure the host time.
