Configure NTP client on TRU64 Unix

[Mohammad Sanaullah]

Dear All
I have been given task to configure the NTP on all the servers with our Intranet server (IP: 144.0.1.102), I have configured all HPUX servers and tested the same but unable to properly configure the Tru64 one as I dont have much idea on the same. Can some one let me know the details in simple way to configure the NTP on all Tru64 servers.
Please also let me know the basic requirements e.g. Downtime of servers ..etc if required.

Hope you all will contribute to my query.

Thanks in advance..Points will follow:::::

Hi,

In addition to the previous suggestions:

# man ntpsetup
# man ntp.conf
# man xntpd

Downtime shouldn't be required, although you should investigate what will happen with your applications should the time jump significantly...

Cheers,

you can setup NTP on one of the TRU64 hosts using sysmane -> Networking-> Additional Network Services-> Network Time Protocol (NTP)

if it's tru64 v5+
when you're done you can export the config
with
sysman -cli -cdf save -comp ntpconfig -file /tmp/ntpconfig.cdf -cdfgroups ntp_conf

copy the file to other hosts and apply again with sysman

for aditional options see "man syman_cli"

Sysman Helped me a lot in configuring the same I have added the server IP and then Restarted the XNTPD server, But time sysnchronisation took some time so I have to be patient....
Anyway thanks a lot for all the support that I received from participants Specially SYSMAN one....Thanks bu
