Why did NTP stop?<br />

Troubleshooting NTP<br />

NTP is designed to automatically quit whenever the client’s time<br />

deviates from the server’s signal by more than 15 minutes. When a<br />

deviation <strong>of</strong> this magnitude occurs, NTP writes a message to file<br />

/var/log/messages before quitting.<br />

To restart NTP, first set the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>’s clock manually (refer to<br />

“Setting the system date and time” in Chapter 3) and then follow the<br />

directions below for restarting NTP.<br />

Why does NTP appear to be inaccurate?<br />

You probably have fixclock running.<br />

NTP clients will not synchronize with the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

This may be because, when the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is configured as an<br />

NTP server, it reports itself as a stratum 0 time server. Not all clients<br />

can synchronize from a stratum 0 server. To change the stratum<br />

setting, type the following command:<br />

cf ntp add server burb=burbname ip=127.127.1.0<br />

where: burbname = the burb that is serving time to the NTP clients.<br />

If the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is serving time to clients in multiple burbs, and<br />

one or more clients in each burb has a problem with stratum 0<br />

servers, you must type this command once for each burb.<br />

Restarting NTP from the UNIX prompt<br />

If the NTP process stops, you can restart the NTP process by doing<br />

the following:<br />

1. At a <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> command prompt, log in and enter the following<br />

command to switch to the Admn role:<br />

srole<br />

2. To start the NTP time server, enter the following command:<br />

cf server restart ntp burb=burb<br />
