Installing NTP client

To sync time on server , you need ntpdate utility.

On Centos: yum install ntp

On debian: apt-get install ntpdate


So we can sync time with public NTP server: ntpdate pool.ntp.org


Make periodically sync time:

touch /var/log/ntpdate.log
crontab -e

and insert:

04 0,8,16 * * * root ntpdate pool.ntp.org >>/var/log/ntpdate.log <Press ENTER>

And save. That's all



NOTE: Special script installs all this when MOR is installed.


Troubleshooting

Please ensure that both TCP and UDP protocols have port 123 opened.

Try to run ntpdate in debug mode:

ntpdate -d pool.ntp.org

In normal case output should be:

[root@node01 ~]# ntpdate -d pool.ntp.org
