AIX Server Configuration:
NTP : Network Time Protocol. Used for time synchronization to perform and support real-time applications.
1) vi /etc/ntp/.conf
# comment the Broadcast line
2) Include the entry,
server 127.127.X.Y, where Y refers to the statum value for the purpose of synchronization. Statum value should be 0 to 3. Save the file.
3) # startsrc -s xntpd
4) # lssrc -ls xntpd
AIX Client Configuration:
1) Ensure there is a proper communication between the client and server.
2) Edit the configuration file for NTP.
# vi /etc/ntp.conf
3) Include the line
server <IP Address of the NTP Server or Name of the NTP Server>
4) Save the file.
5) # startsrc -s xntpd
NTP Syncronization process will take ~10 mins.
6) # lssrc -ls xntpd, if the statum value is "16". It shows no syncronization between the NTP Client and Server.
7) In that case manually configure the NTP,
# ntpdate <IP Address of the NTP Server or Name of the NTP Server>
8) Verify the same.
# ntpq -a or ntpq -peers
