How to synchronize Sun Solaris with HP machines

[yalin zhao]

Hi,

We have two Sun machines running Solaris8. I want to have their time synchrozied with our HP-UX machines. Our HP machines have NTP configured with time synchronized. Does anyone know if we can synchronize the Sun box with HP boxes? Thanks in advance.

Sure, ntp is a standard service running on upd port 123. Just setup your ntp service on the sun box and point it to the hp, you shouldn't have to change anything else.

Hi,

ntp is also available on SUN and use can use it to configure time syncronization.

Hi Yalin


NTP is a standar service running for both HP and Sun systems , and pretty much standard service to confugre too .

check the followinf document to configure NTYP on HP :

http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90685/B2355-90685_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90685/00/00/63-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90685/00/00/63-toc.html&searchterms=NTP&queryid=20020604-134101


The same should be true for SUN also except that ntp.conf is under /etc/inet/ntp.conf and the start and stop file is under /etc/rc2.d/S74xntpd
