8. On the Globals screen, select in the Time Zone and Logging boxes, and provide any existing DNS,

NTP, or Proxy servers on your network. If you have multiple servers, separate them with commas.

EVO:RAIL configures each of these services, as when needed. For example, all ESXi hosts and the

vCenter Server are configured with the specified NTP server when this options is filled out.

If you do not provide a DNS server, EVO:RAIL provides this service from the vCenter Server. If you do

not provide an NTP server, EVO:RAIL uses the time that is set on ESXi host #1 (regardless whether

this time is correct).

Logging combines information for auditing and to track the functionality of EVO:RAIL, vCenter, and

ESXi. By default, logging is set to vCenter Log Insight. You may alternately select an existing third-

party syslog server. To use vCenter Log Insight, configured the IP address and type the username as

admin. To log in to SSH to Log Insight, the username is root. The password in either case is the one

that you provided for vCenter Server.

NOTE: The default IP address for vCenter Log Insight is preconfigured; for example,

192.168.10.201. If you change the IP address of vCenter Server in task 5, you have to change

the IP address of vCenter Log Insight to be on the same subnet.
