Celerra NTP Service (Error 16: server_2 : Device or resource busy)

The device or resource is busy because it already has an NTP Address associated  with the data mover,

Delete the old entry of the NTP host IP Address

     server_date server_X  timesvc delete ntp

Then you will be able to add the new NTP host IP  Address to the data mover.

     server_date server_X timesvc start ntp

Hello Sameer,

thanks for your answer.

I have deleted the NTP profile and add a new one, this time with some other Windows 2003 time servers.

I still get the disconnected state:

server_2 :
Time synchronization statistics since start:
hits= 0, misses= 0, first poll hit= 0, miss= 1
Last offset: 0 secs, 0 usecs
Current State: Running, disconnected, interval=2
Time sync hosts:
        0 1 x.x.x.129
        0 1 x.x.x.28

I am wondering if it is possible to sync the Celerra with Windows 2003? Do i need to install some other software on the Windows 2003 Server to make it possible?

Timo

Also try restarting the ntp service :

$server_date server_2 timesvc stop ntp

$server_date server_2 timesvc start ntp

Thanks for the reply!

you are right, i can't ping from the datamover itself:

no answer from x.x.x.129

Which command do i need to use to set up a default route on the datamover?

If i make a default route, i am not sure if this has influence on the (net)working of the celerra (CIFS/iSCSI)?

are you sure the time servers are reachable from the data movers (server_ping) and not just from the control station?

usually it helps to configure a working default route on the data mover

Hello Timo,

are you able to ping the NTP server ipaddress from the server_2 ?

$ server_ping server_2

You need not install any other software to accomplish this

i can ping to the 2 Windows 2003 Time Servers.

i also tried a couple of times to stop and start the timesvc, but it doesn't help.

I still get the status Running, disconnected..

Timo

$server_route server_2 -add  [ ]

Sameer Kulkarni

thanks for the answer,

i will try to add a default route (after investigate first if this will have influence on my network configuration).

Many thanks!

Server_route or the GUI

Or pick a time server that is reachable on a direct connected network
