In one embodiment, at least one processing device is configured to assign a plurality of devices of a cluster to a logical host group where at least one of the devices assigned to the logical host group has a network time parameter that is different than another of the devices assigned to the logical host group. The at least one processing device is further configured to determine a target network time parameter for the logical host group based at least in part on network time parameter related information about a given device of the plurality of devices assigned to the logical host group and to cause the plurality of devices to configure their respective network time parameters to the target network time parameter based at least in part on the assignment of the plurality of devices to the logical host group.
