Hello

I have a two-node Virtual SAN. Since the two nodes aren't on the WAN they don't have an NTP to sync their time to. As a result, the two clocks are currently off by about 5 minutes. I can reset them to be closer, but they will drift apart. My question is, will the time difference have any impact on failover or syncing? Will it create inconsistencies?

Thanks.

Hello bjobie
Different time on your nodes wont have any impact on failover or synchronization.
The only thing you will have - different time in your logs.
