Why Can't NetApp Keep Time
The company I work for has NetApp file servers and according to our IT
people, they can't keep proper time using NTP. Why not? Consequently, builds across network drives are a nuisance. Apparently the clock drifts fast and our ops set the time slow to compensate. We don't have to have the correct time, but we do need for all systems to have the *same* time. As the NetApp server can't do NTP service, we can't it to be the common time. Thanks. -- Daniel Norton |

If you're having trouble with NTP why are you asking in a storage newsgroup?

Netapp like web pages. Filer-Set Date/Time Set Timezone Set Misc. Or as mentioned above (and how we did it) edit the file by hand. Our time is always on the money. If it were not our users would complain. -- Wolf ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please post all responses to UseNet.

As somebody already pointed out, NetApp uses timed protocol instead, so it won't talk to an NTP server. So ask your "IT people" to setup a timed server somewhere on the network. You can configure it to use ntp. See my previous post. -- Wolf ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please post all responses to UseNet.

Any more I think the entry in the rc file does the same thing as well. I see entries in the log file all the time about time being off by X seconds. It keeps correcting them but they keep happening. And usually it's by 3.x seconds. Odd, now that I write that every one that I can recall was 3.x seconds. Need to look into that one... ~F |

Odd, now that I write that every one that I can recall was 3.x seconds. Need to look into that one... I set it up that way as part of the installation process and have had zero problems. I have not bothered looking at how many seconds it may go off since it uses our ntp servers to keep time and it's always on the money. Another avenue to find out more is to call Netapp support for help-they are usually very helpful. -- Wolf ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please post all responses to UseNet.
