similar to: DomU clock out of sync

Hi. I run peridocally (from cron) on all of my machines 30 * * * * root /sbin/hwclock --systohc All of those machines in question take their time via NTP from the same local server, and that server gets its time from a ntp pool. Now I had to reboot a couple of them two days ago and to my surprise all had problems with the time upon booting. Here are the important files: [root at XXXXXX ~]

Hi, To get my system on time, I usually issue these two commands: # ntpdate de.pool.ntp.org # hwclock -w And when I want this to be done on startup, I put the two lines in rc.local. I wonder if this is an orthodox way to do things. Or is there something more appropriate? Niki Kovacs

Dear All. I have set up a Xen testbed on a computer.(Dom0 use debian lenny) I would like to know the possible ways to monitor the network traffic of DomU''s from Dom0. # command ''xentop'' display NAME STATE CPU(sec) CPU(%) MEM(k) MEM(%) MAXMEM(k) MAXMEM(%) VCPUS NETS NETTX(k) NETRX(k) VBDS VBD_OO VBD_RD VBD_WR SSID debianlenny --b--- 14 0.0 270204 25.8 278528 26.6 1 0 0

Hi, I followed the discussions regarding the "time moved backward" problem and the use of ntp in such cases. At our department we are running two dovecot servers within an vmware server environment, and unfortunately the timedrift (with ntpd active) exceeds sometimes up to 30 minutes virtual drift within 10 minutes realtime (mostly into future). This is due to some overcorrections

Hi, I had the following problem today. Because of a misconfigured network switch one system suddenly didn't have any network. After a reboot (with the network still unavailable) NTPD refused to start. Most likely because the initial ntpdate failed to work. I find this troubling, because when the network was restored, NTPD could have resumed working (like I'd expect from a true

Is there a package to do this? Normally the hardware clock is set during shutdown if one is running ntpd. But if a long-running server shuts down unexpectedly, this isn't done, and the hardware clock might be off by a lot when it comes back up. So setting it periodically from a cron job could be useful. What do others do? Adding a one liner to /etc/cron.daily that invokes

Hey, I have rather new installation of xen, dom0 is running ntpd and is perfectly in time. All domU''s are ~23s in future. Running ntpd on the domU''s seem to have no effect, /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock appears to have no effect. I''m running xen-unstable and 2.6.16-rc4 in AMD64 box. Any tip would be appricated. Thanks, -- ++ytti

Hi, the date jumps within 30 seconds to a wrong value. ntp service is stopped at the beginning. Whereas hwclock seems more precise. [root at kerio ~]# service ntpd stop Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ] [root at kerio ~]# ntpdate 0.centos.pool.ntp.org 13 Mar 07:04:48 ntpdate[23003]: step time server 131.234.137.24 offset -3450.678273 sec [root at

Hi CentOS 5.3 with latest updates. I have a problem with the time zone on dedicated server. I had to setup the timezone using system-config-date to "Europe/London" and "System clock uses UTC" == checked # date; date -u; hwclock --show; hwclock --show --utc; zdump /etc/localtime Thu May 7 21:29:47 GMT 2009 Thu May 7 21:29:47 UTC 2009 Thu 07 May 2009 09:29:48 PM GMT

Hi, I would like to sync my CentOS 6.3 hardware clock time to my NTP server's time. Can I do that without reboot the hosts? If yes, it would be great if anyone of you can provide me steps to do that. I am newbie in CentOS. Thanks, Anand Singh

Hello, in system-config-date i have checkbox synchronize date before service startup. Which config switch,file does it affect? I want to turn it on on my CentOS machine without xauth , just editing config files , i was hoping it could be in /etc/sysconfig/ntpd but no. Thanks in advance!

Hello ! Just a quick question about time synchronization between xen dom0 and domUs... We''re running Xen 3.1 64-bit, with 32 and 64 bits linux guests. It''s up since 89 days and the domU''s time is around 5 minutes behind the dom0, which is updated via ntpdate... Any idea why it doesn''t sync the guests even that /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock is 0 ?

Dear all, I would need some advice as I am a beginner in CentOS. The question is as follows: How to set up timing if NTP was block by ISP? I have try many way such as link the timezone , getting from the hardware clock.However , it is not the solution. Please advice. -- Regards, Ku Wei Xiong 0166365831

Help Andrew! and whoever else.. I have a Linux Mandrake 7.2 box with Samba 2.07 acting as a timeserver for our local lan. We are in the CST timezone. All windows boxes sync thier time from the Linux box via: net time \\Nemesis /set /yes. I would like to have xntp keep the clock on the server updated. Problem: ntpdate and xntp work great at setting the Linux box hardware clock to GMT. The

Hi Everyone, I am stack between two identical systems (2U Twin2, 4 nodes, SuperMicro) servers that have the same exact specs except for HDDs. These nodes will all either have Asterisk installed with CentOS or will have Asterisk install in virtual environment. Option 1: *12* x 3.5" HDD (3 HDDs per node) Option 2: *24* x 2.5" HDD (6 HDDs per node) **both options come to the same price.

Hey everyone, I have a question about vif-common.sh. I run multiple bridges attached on dummy interfaces, which allow me to put guests in seperate subnets (routed through the dom0). As you might expect I already have quite extensive iptables scripts to accomidate this kind of routing. I was just hoping someone on this list can confirm, that I understand what the iptables lines in vif-common.sh

The time appears to be perfect inside dom0, however all the domU''s tend to have a slightly faster date which gets further out of sync every day. I''m currently using Xen 3.0.3 with Gentoo Linux, under 3.0.2 I had no problems with domU clocks. Are there any known issues which could cause this? I''d strongly prefer not to run ntpd in every domU, having all domU clocks in

A shell script is deployed to synchronize time, the script is invoked hourly by crontab, and its content is as follows: #!/bin/bash service ntpd stop ntpdate 192.168.0.191 #it's a valid ntpd server in LAN service ntpd start chkconfig ntpd on Inspected the Linux log(Centos6.4 /var/log/messages), found the following fragment: Jan 7 14:00:01 host1 ntpd[32101]: ntpd exiting on signal 15 Jan 7

OK, So what you people say is : 1. Run "ntpdate" during startup only once 2. After that, keep time with ntpd Right ? Regards, spyros ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis
