Deviation from this procedure can result in certain services entering an error state upon restart and subsequently extending the necessary downtime. A scheduled facility maintenance (where the power and networking are being taken offline) Corrective action for extreme NTP drift issues (This is required when the entire grid is fly-wheeling, that is, it has lost lock to the external time source)

The most recent log messages are placed in the bycast.log file, while the older log messages are periodically rotated to the bycast.log.n file. Note: This log format covers all the grid software, with the exception of the following: On checking the output of the du -hx --max-depth=1 command, the logs had stopped rotating correctly.

If a sufficient number of Control Nodes deviate from the external time sources, the entire grid might begin to drift away from the external time sources.
