NTP Time Synchronization HP UX Server

SagarSe7en — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 09:02:06 GMT

Hi Everyone,

We have one HP UX Server running on a BL860c i4 where NTP configuration has been done. Whenever i run the command ntpq -p i get the server details.

When i run the command on another server, i get the below output:

ntpq: read: Can't assign requested address

All configuration are proper and the same across both the boxes.

Have tried restart the xntpd services and still no effect.

On the server where the output is coming fine, when i start xntpd server i get the below message:

# /sbin/init.d/xntpd stop
xntpd stopped
# /sbin/init.d/xntpd start
2 Jan 12:00:36 ntpdate[27722]: step time server XXX.XXX.XX.XX offset 0.014130 sec
xntpd #

XX is the IP Address of the NTP Server

When i stop and start the xntpd service on the server where the issue is happening i dont get the output as above.

Any advise where i could be wrong.

Hello

Please check the configuration file in /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons and verify is the NTP server hostname / ipaddress is defined.

Also verify if there are no duplicate files by name netdaemons.org or so in the same said directory.

Hi,

This was checked and verified.

Both the configurations are the same and no duplicate file netdaemons.org

Regards,

Sagar

Please post the output of

#cd /sbin/init.d/
#sh -x ./xntpd start

#echo $?

output of /etc/rconfig.d/netdaemons.

ntpq -p will throw the below messages

ntpq: read: Can't assign requested address

When it doses not find NTP server
