Hello,
I am trying to build a proof-of-concept systems that will listen for ptp and
then serve ntp, but I seem to have a problem: the clock on the system does not
seem to get set by ptp, and therefore the clock drifts. I have a test system
that uses multiple internet ntp sources and this one: this one's offset keeps
growing.
I don't see any sign in /var/log/messages that the clock is trying to be slewed
or stepped.
This is a centos 7 system running under vmware 6.7 (no precision clock
available). It is using the ethernet device "e1000" to allow the ethernet
software timestamping for both transmit and receive. There is no /dev/ptp
device so phc2sys is not running.
There are two grandmaster ptp feeds coming into this system.
Upgrading to vmware 7 is not in the cards at the moment, but I might get to
play with sr-iov.
I am running ptp4l as: "/usr/sbin/ptp4l -f /etc/ptp4l.conf -i ens34 -l 5 -S"
Ptp4l is configured with the following values altered in the /etc/ptp4l.conf:
domainNumber == 44
slaveOnly == 1
ntpd is running with a minimal config:
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 0
pmc "GET time_status_np" shows that ptp4l is synced with the grand master
