I recently opened a case and the TAC engineer ran the "utils diagnose test" command on two of the subscribers. We saw the following output regarding NTP. Similar output on all subscribers.
====================== test - ntp_stratum : Failed The reference NTP server is a stratum 5 clock. NTP servers with stratum 5 or worse clocks are deemed unreliable. Please consider using an NTP server with better stratum level. Please use OS Admin GUI to add/delete NTP servers. ====================== This is very confusing, since we have synchronized the publisher to a stratum 3 NTP server, making the publisher a stratum 4. I don't think it's possible to synchronize the publisher to a stratum 2 since that would mean the publisher would have to talk to an upstream NTP server, this is not likely. some additional output: ===== upstreamNTPserver>show ntp status Clock is synchronized, stratum 3, reference is <snip> nominal freq is 250.0000 Hz, actual freq is 249.9994 Hz, precision is 2**24 reference time is D74EF2FD.DA2094A8 (13:50:53.852 EDT Fri Jun 20 2014) clock offset is -3.7102 msec, root delay is 13.73 msec root dispersion is 46.51 msec, peer dispersion is 18.67 msec loopfilter state is 'CTRL' (Normal Controlled Loop), drift is 0.000002293 s/s system poll interval is 1024, last update was 1297 sec ago. ===== on publisher admin:utils ntp status ntpd (pid 6808) is running... remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== <snip> .LOCL. 10 l 38 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.001 +<snip> <snip> 3 u 18 1024 377 0.647 4.618 0.043 *<snip> <snip> 3 u 123 1024 377 0.726 -4.041 0.025 synchronised to NTP server (upstreamNTPserver) at stratum 4 time correct to within 86 ms polling server every 1024 s Current time in UTC is : Fri Jun 20 18:10:59 UTC 2014 Current time in America/Toronto is : Fri Jun 20 14:10:59 EDT 2014 ===== on subscriber: admin:utils ntp status ntpd (pid 9136) is running... remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== 127.127.1.0 .LOCL. 10 l 54 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.001 * < pub > <snip> 4 u 324 512 377 0.200 -0.289 0.022 synchronised to NTP server (pub) at stratum 5 time correct to within 98 ms polling server every 512 s Current time in UTC is : Fri Jun 20 18:19:08 UTC 2014 Current time in America/Toronto is : Fri Jun 20 14:19:08 EDT 2014 ===== Software Version: 9.1.2.11900-12 --- Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A. Senior Analyst, Network Infrastructure Computing and Communications Services (CCS) University of Guelph 519‐824‐4120 Ext 56354 [email protected] www.uoguelph.ca/ccs Room 037, Animal Science and Nutrition Building Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1
