DataCore SANsymphony-V – time drift issues

datacore_logo.jpg vtricks_logo.jpg   SANsymphony-V relies on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to keep a secure connection between the two DataCore servers. Unfortunately WCF doesn’t tolerate time changes greater than 30 seconds. So if we look again at the log message posted by the windows time service.

The system time has changed to ‎2013‎-‎03‎-‎24T00:01:49.899001000Z from ‎2013‎-‎03‎-‎24T00:01:13.333675100Z

So the system time has been changed by more than 30 seconds. This will cause the connection between SANsymphony-V nodes to break. This will force the DataCore server to perform some actions like “reviewing” its inventory to know exactly know what’s going on. And this is what causes these alarming but innocuous log messages
