setting up NTP on V 6.0 large accelerator node

Question

I am installing a large avamar accelerator node on a gen 4 avamar accelerator grid.. There is a procedure to setup the NTP I am following the directions but the step-tickers is not in the /etc dir and the service ntpd service is not there.. Seems like this is a documentation problem in the avamar acelerator guide as I have done the procedure before in v 5 sp3 and sp4 I was able to copy the /etc/ntp.conf file from the utility node no problem I did find the ntp service not the ntpd server running and restarted I would also like to change the timezone from PST to CST Running Sles 11 not redhat.. Thanks Fred Lauridsen

Hello,

The file /etc/ntp/step-tickers is for Redhat only, SUSE is using /etc/sysconfig/ntp

On SLES, you can simply skip the step involving step-tickers, because the SLES ntpd startup code obtains the list of time servers directly from /etc/ntp.conf

Thanks.
