Time issue

I have 2 simulators installed on my network.
Both setup identically with NTP. But only one of them is not showing correct time.
I cannot shange it to PDT.

Any ideas

[nasadmin@localhost ~]$ server_date server_2 timesvc stop
server_2 : done
[nasadmin@localhost ~]$ server_date server_2 timesvc start ntp 192.168.10.2
server_2 : done
[nasadmin@localhost ~]$ server_date server_2 timezone -name America/Los_Angeles
server_2 : done
[nasadmin@localhost ~]$ server_date server_2 timesvc update ntp
server_2 : done
[nasadmin@localhost ~]$ server_date server_2 timesvc
server_2 :

Timeservice State

time: Tue Mar 10 15:08:21 EDT 2009
type: ntp
sync delay: off
interval: 60
hosts: 192.168.10.2,

[nasadmin@localhost ~]$

I have tried change the time zone to GMT
[nasadmin@localhost ~]$ server_date server_2 timezone -name GMT
server_2 : done
But still the same issue 3 hour differentce EDT instead of PDT

hi,

kaba have you found out what the problem was? I have the same issue, i can't get the time write on one of my Celerra simulators. I have tried on the same way, also thru the web interface, but that also doesn't work.
ps i only have a difference of 1 hour.

Last time I had a similar issue, it was because of the time zone on the control station being different from the one on the data movers.

I did find out that my esx hosts had incorrect time between bios and extenal NTP. so I had to syncronize it first to make sure that all DCs are getting correct time. therefore PC that had simulator also has correct time. I have to reinstall the simulator so can't really tell yet if it corrected the issue or not.

Time sync doesn't work here either. The Data Mover seems to stay in sync, but the Control Station gains time at an unbelievable rate. No matter what I do to the ntp.conf file, it won't synchronise to any servers (two local Cisco routers and one *.pool.ntp.org).

However, if I re-start the ntpd service, it quite happily corrects the time.

The VMware site goes on about various problems affecting clocks in VMs, but I didn't see anything that made any difference.

My only workable solution (a nice dirty hack, but it's only a simulator

) is to add an entry to crontab to restart the ntpd service every 5 minutes. It's not perfect, but at least the CIFS checkpoint times appear OK in Windows.

How did you re-start the ntpd service?

server_date server_2 timesvc stop and then start?

I am still having issues with time. it shows east cost time but my time zone is set to Americas/Los_Angeles
