A county deploys NSX-T Managers for the civic datacenter but skips DNS and NTP. Cluster formation later fails with name-resolution and time-skew errors. What missing preparation step should the security administrator complete?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
NSX Managers are picky roommates—they need names they can look up and clocks that agree. Skip DNS and NTP and the cluster acts like nobody showed up to the same meeting. Fix name resolution and time sync in prep; that is not a Carbon Black sensor-clock problem.
Full Explanation
The NSX-T Data Center installation and preparation workflow includes DNS and NTP as Manager prerequisites. Name resolution is required for cluster VIP, certificate SANs, and node-to-node communication; time sync is required for certificates, logs, and cluster stability. Carbon Black Cloud and Workspace ONE Access do not substitute for Manager DNS/NTP. Writing Distributed Firewall rules cannot succeed if the management cluster never forms.
