Can I force NTP to sync in ONTAP?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- NTP
Answer
No.
- It can take a few minutes to hours to see the time change on the cluster using the '
date
' command, but normally it will be almost instant.- Adding servers or changing the time will restart the NTP daemon and can further increase the time it takes to synchronize.
- Confirm that the NTP servers are reachable using cluster time-service ntp status show and wait for ONTAP to perform the sync.
- If you don't see a sync after a few hours, open a support case with NetApp Technical Support.
