Using Riedel Software Manager

Launching Riedel Software Manager

Ensure that the computer (your PC) running Riedel Software Manager has the correct time and date set by setting the computer to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) in the computer’s Date and Time System Settings. During cluster creation, a certificate is created using the Time and Date from the computer that Riedel Software Manager is running on. After cluster creation, the cluster will synchronize its time with NTP and if the time differs from the certificate created by the Riedel Software Manager, timesync is not possible within the cluster, errors will occur, and the cluster creation will fail.
