Hello,

Running AIX 6.1, AIX machine is HACMP node.
Recently I set up ntp service. Started xntpd by hand - everythig is OK. Configured xntpd to start after reboot and rebooted the machine. After reboot checked xntpd:

# lssrc -a|grep ntp xntpd            tcpip                         inoperative

I didn't find any reason why it didn't start. Anyway I started HACMP after some time - and xntpd started right away:

-bash-3.00# lssrc -a|grep ntp xntpd            tcpip            458684       active

So after some checks it was obvious - xntpd starts automatically only after cluster services are started.

Why this is happening ?

thanks

Hi,

This is something to do with the way HACMP caters for NFS mounts I seem to recall.

If you have a look at the inittab you will see that rc.tcpip has been changed from run-level 2 to run-level a and HACMP calls telinit a to start the a level services only during a resource group aquisition.

What I did was create an rc.local and call startsrc -s xntpd as part of the boot process to make sure the standby node has time sync started from boot.

Hi,

Thanks for answer.
I just thought that this situation is almost OK for me.
Just one thing that all the servers put 'a' into runlevel of rc.tcpip except one, while config of all of them should be the same.
So hacmp config could be the reason ?

thanks
