Good evening HP-UX experts,
argument is NTP (Network Time Protocol).
Configuration: a Windows 2000 system which gets time by internet and it is a NTP server for some HP-UX clients. Problem is about 2 HP-UX clients, sometimes they seems to lost synchronization and a big delay results bewteen NTP server and these 2 NTP clients. Last time the stop/start of xntpd solved the problem but I think is better to verify something in order to avoid the unknown reason of the problem.
About this I notices a strange thing by ntpq -p output:
NTP server: 10.16.244.144
NTP client 1:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset disp
==============================================================================
#10.16.244.144 192.5.41.209 2 u 21 128 377 2.08 0.143 0.15
NTP client 2:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset disp
==============================================================================
#10.16.244.144 192.5.41.209 2 u 101 128 377 1.92 2.946 5.26
The strange thing is # sign in front of 10.16.244.144 and I already know from man ntpq:
# selected for synchronization but distance exceeds maximum;
But I have some doubts that I cannot find explainations: how long is the max distance possible? I think the distance here is between the client and server, is it right?
Have anybody experiences about "#" sign by ntpq -p output?
Thanks a lot in advance for all replies!
I will summarize.
Best regards,
Ettore
