I am using AIX 5.4 and NTP version 3.4 from what I can tell, which came with the operating system. ntpq, "v" option returns 3.4y.
This is not a startup condition. xntpd has been running for a while before the steps. I realize that I have other issues causing the need for steps. I am investigating this problem as well. I only have one time server, so I have network issues or something that is causing the need for the steps. Underneath the one server, we have several of our processors acting as servers to the rest of our system. If one of our servers is having interrupt delays from disk activity or some other issue, perhaps that is causing the dicrepency. Does anyone know the best way to debug such a situation? But I still need to understand why NTP is stepping when the documentation I have says that it should not with the "-x" option. We have a distributed processing system with many processors. It is imperative that time does not step on any of our processors or our software will detect heartbeat problems. That is what is currently happening, so I know that real steps are occuring and not just steps in the ntp.log file. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
