6.2.14 NTP Sync
Periodically a user has the need to sync or resync one or more servers to the preferred NTP source. This might be required for various reasons including a network change, a new NTP server has been added, or a disaster recovery of an existing NTP server has taken place. Capabilities differ depending on the application. For example, The DSR Network OAM presents a broader scope of eligible servers than the DSR System OAM but the functionality remains the same.
Caution:
This operation should be planned. Critical processes are temporarily shut down to complete the action. The user should understand the concepts of the High Availability (HA) subsystem related to Max Allowed HA Role. Reference HA (High Availability).Note:
NTP Sync can only be performed on a server that currently reflects a Max Allowed HA Role of Standby, Spare, or Observer.Use this procedure to perform an NTP Sync on one or more servers.
The NTP sync action is invoked on the target
server(s). A message is displayed at the top of the work area informing the
user of the status of the operation.
