I wish to run 2 copies of an application that need to communicate. They will be on DomUs on different machines. The application needs the DomUs to be in very close time sync. On the metal I would just set each machine up as a stratum 3 ntp server.
I believe that in Xen the DomU picks up the time from the Dom0 and it is a bad idea to use date/ntpdate on the DomU. This leads to 2 questions. 1) I changed the time on the Dom0s but the DomUs didn't pick up the change, can I force the DomUs to update their clocks or do I need to restart them? 2) what is the advisability of running the Dom0 as a ntp stratum 3 server? I know that you should run the minimum possible on the Dom0 Thanks for all advice John -- John Landamore Department of Computer Science University of Leicester University Road, LEICESTER, LE1 7RH [email protected] Phone: +44 (0)116 2523410 Fax: +44 (0)116 2523604 _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
