Check Text ( C-50274r768188_chk )
HYCU is a VM that synchronizes time with the Nutanix or VMware platform as part of maintenance task using the "chronyd" daemon. To verify the service is up and running, execute the following command: systemctl status chronyd If service is not active (running), this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-50228r768189_fix)
Verify time synchronization by logging on to the HYCU console and executing the following command: sudo systemctl start chronyd Additional assistance can be found at: https://support.hycu.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005424345-HYCU-system-time
