Configure NTP in HP-UX 11i

Patrick Chim — Fri, 23 Aug 2002 02:53:36 GMT

Hi

I configurate my HP-UX 11i server as a NTP client which point to my NT server as a Time Server. The followings are the steps

1. Add "server 172.19.130.11 minpoll 3 maxpoll 4" in /etc/ntp.conf
2. Add "NTPDATE_SERVER=172.19.130.11" in /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons"
3. Run "/sbin/init.d/xntpd start" but with the following error
23 Aug 11:33:21 ntpdate[804]: no server suitable for synchronization found
4. The process xntpd is still running and have the followings log in syslog.log
xntpd[807]: tickadj = 625, tick = 10000, tvu_maxslew = 61875
xntpd[807]: precision = 19 usec

Is it anything wrong with my procedure ? I have observer the time for a while but it's still not in sync. Does anyone know why ?

Regards,
Patrick

can you do a
#ntpq -p

to find whether you could find the NT server.

Thanks

Hi,

Does my NT server need to install NTP as the time server as my NT server is using another time daemon to syncronize the time with other win2000 servers.

Patrick

yes patrick

you are right!If you are using the HP as the ntp client you need to configure the NT as the time server

Thanks

Patrick,

Absolutely, your client and server must speak the same language - in this case, ntp. It's like your client is sending a question in Spanish but your server only speaks English.
