Solution 1908248.1 : How to Verify If Server NTP Daemon Is Synchronized?

Applies to:

Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router (DSR) - Version DSR 4.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Verify Alarm Event: 32509 - Server NTP Daemon Not Synchronized

Verify the alarm via the GUI (NOAM/SOAM).

Verify via the command line you need to execute the following 2 steps:

"ntpq -pn" -- Displays the NTP status. Look for the (*) at the far left of the command to validate the sync server. Example below of output of "ntpq -pn".

If the command does not show an (*) for NTP sync. Proceed to execute Step 2 to verify the MP can reach the NTP server across the network.
"ping" -- Validates the MP server able to reach the NTP server across the network.
Example: ping <ip of ntp server> - Should not lose packets.

Example:

[root@dsr-server ~]# ntpq -pn
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
+1.1.1.1 2.2.2.3 2 u 223 1024 377 0.371 -0.811 0.017
*1.1.1.2 2.2.2.3 2 u 354 1024 377 0.410 0.835 0.062

If the Astrix (*) displays an large "offset" value the system will have NTP issues.
