Title: [Oscar-users] Problem with client installation and ntp
Hi Carl:
 
Can you post a typescript of the entire process?
 
http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/faq.installation.typescript
 
(showing the failure)
 
I don't understand why ntpdate failing would cause Step 7 to fail...  perhaps there is something else going on?
 
BTW, to prevent the installer from restarting your ntpd, you can comment out the line in:
 
/opt/oscar/packages/ntpconfig/scripts/post_install
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard

Subject: [Oscar-users] Problem with client installation and ntp


We are trying to install OSCAR 4.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 update 3.
After several fits and starts, we have progressed to step 7 ("Complete
Cluster Setup").  The client installation fails during this step due to
problems with starting and stopping ntpd on the cluster server.

Is there a way to prevent the OSCAR installation wizard from restarting
ntpd on the cluster server during step 7?

Here is what happens with ntp during this step:
   - ntpd is stopped on the server
   - ntpdate runs on the server
   - ntpd is started on the server
   - ntpd is stopped on the client(s)
   - ntpdate runs on the client(s) which FAILs
   - ntpd is started on the client(s)

The client ntpdate failure causes step 7 to fail.

The failure happens because ntpd on the server does not accept ntp
connections for several minutes (my testing shows anywhere between three
and ten minutes) after startup.  (I can provide a summary of the test
along with logs of a test if this would be helpful.)

Thanks!
