Alarm ID:

TKSPLATMA41

Recovery:

1. Verify NTP settings and NTP sources can be reached.
   1. Ensure ntpd service is running.
   2. Verify the content of the /etc/ntp.conf file is correct for the server.
   3. Verify the ntp peer configuration; execute ntpq -p and analyze the output. Verify peer data, such as tally code (first column before remote), remote, refid, stratum (st), and jitter, are valid for server.
   4. Execute ntpstat to determine the ntp time synchronization status. If not synchronized or the stratum is not correct for server, then ping the ntp peer to determine if peer can be reached.
2. If ntp peer is reachable, restart the ntpd service.
3. If problem persists, then resetting the NTP date may resolve the issue.

   Note:

   Before resetting the ntp date, the applications may need to be stopped and, subsequent to the ntp reset, the application restarted.
   1. To reset date:
   • sudo service ntpd stop
   • sudo ntpdate <ntp server IP>
   • sudo service ntpd start
4. If the problem persists, it is recommended to contact My Oracle Support.
