Time Synchronization

To get the correct time for the purpose of logging and to synchronize clocks between Management Node and Hardware Node(s) that will be managed via Parallels Business Automation - Standard, the ntp daemon shall be up and running on the Management Node.

  1. Check if the ntp daemon is installed at your system by executing

    rpm -q ntp

    If it is not, please install ntp daemon either from distribution CD or from any ftp mirror.

  2. After ntp daemon installation, edit its default configuration file /etc/ntp.conf.
  3. Start the ntp daemon:

    service ntpd start

  4. Add the ntp daemon to automatically started services by executing:

    chkconfig --level 345 ntpd on

  5. Make sure that the ntp daemon is running by executing the following commands:

    ntptrace your_host_name

    ntpq -p your_host_name

Where your_host_name should be replaced with the hostname of the computer you are installing ntp daemon.

Note: A daemon needs some time to synchronize itself, so do not be anxious about not synchronized message in the output of ntp trace. Try to check it again after installing the rest of RPMs.
