Step 5: Identify external applications and settings for VxRail
VxRail is dependent on specific applications in your data center to be available to VxRail over your data center network. These data
center applications must be accessible to the VxRail management network.
Time Zone, NTP Server
A time zone is required. It is configured on vCenter Server and each ESXi host during VxRail initial configuration.
An NTP server is not required, but it is recommended. If you provide an NTP server, vCenter Server will be configured to use it. If
you do not provide at least one NTP server, VxRail uses the time that is set on ESXi host #1 (regardless of whether the time is
correct or not).
Make sure the NTP IP address is accessible from the network to which VxRail will be connected to and is functioning
properly

DNS Server
One or more external, customer-supplied DNS servers are required for VxRail. The DNS server you select for VxRail must be able to
support naming services for all of the VxRail management components (VxRail Manager, vCenter, etc.).
Make sure that the DNS IP address is accessible from the network to which VxRail is connected and functioning
properly.
