Add or Remove NTP Servers
Add one or more NTP servers with which to synchronize the FluidFS cluster time. Adding multiple NTP
servers ensures continued time synchronization in the event of an NTP server failure. If the FluidFS cluster
cannot establish contact with the first server, it attempts to connect to the remaining servers in order.
