- Element Management Node (mNode) - any version
- NetApp storage nodes running Element Software - any version
Description
Clock skew (misaligned internal clock times between two systems) can cause various issues in an Element Software context, including:
- mNode issues
- errors during deployment
- login/authentication issues
- Element UI issues
- NetApp HCI issues
- Initial Deployment with NetApp Deployment Engine (NDE)
This article describes how to determine whether a given mNode or cluster of Element storage nodes is experiencing clock skew, either between storage nodes in the Element cluster or between an mNode and its associated storage cluster(s).
