Hello,

Maybe should you check if your NTP server can be upgraded to a new one. There might be a flaw in the implementation of the protocol that might prevent the Filer to correctly understand the time sync message or on the other hand, a flaw that might prevent NTP server to correctly understand the request from the Filer.

I must say that I'm very surprised that a Linux NTP does not work correctly with a Filer... Indeed, we rely on a NTP server on Windows NT 4.0 which is W32Time from Microsoft, a very simple product, and I haven't got any problem synchronizing our Filers with it. Since MS is well known for their "particular" implentation of public protocols, I would not be surprised to have problems with it, which it's not the case!

Kind regards,

i personnally also tried to sync a netapp on a linux box it didn't work either i think netapp don't want to support linux ntp service why ?...

I'm pretty sure I am syncing to a linux box. Can you run ntpq -c peers or ntpq -c ass on the linux box? Try taking out your restrict line, restarting and then try it... this will just confirm you are not restricting yourself on accident.

I have ntp running on my of my linux servers which acts as the time server for my network. I want to have my netapp sync to this server using ntp. However I keep getting error messages like: Tue Jan 6 10:52:19 PST [Java Thread:ALERT]: TimeDaemon: Time server 10.1.88.44 is not responding to time synchronization requests

Solaris, linux and windows can sync to this server except for my netapp. (Running NetApp Release 6.2.1R1) Does anyone experience the same problem ... and if so, how did you fix this? Thank you. Here is my ntp.conf file: #################################################### restrict 127.0.0.1 # syncing with mule server 192.168.1.3 restrict 192.168.1.3 mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
