Server Level Configuration
You will see the following:
ntpd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
Step 3 Stop the ntpd service.
# service ntpd stop
Step 4 Set the time zone by linking the time zone to the /etc/localtime file. The following command shows an
example of setting the time zone to UTC.
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime
Find the time zone for your specific location in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory.
Step 5 Set the system date and time to a date and time close to the NTP server date and time by entering the
date -s command, for example:
# date -s "16:55:30 Nov 7, 2010"
Step 6 Synchronize the server clock to the NTP server.
# ntpd -q
Note If the system clock is off by a significant amount, the command takes a considerable amount of
time to return.
Step 7 Start the ntpd service.
# service ntpd start
Step 8 Synchronize the hardware clock.
# /sbin/hwclock --systohc
Step 9 Check the NTP synchronization.
# ntpq -p
Step 10 Reboot the CDSM or VVIM.
# init 6
Configuring the Server Level Logging
All logs are located in the /arroyo/log directory. The log files are rotated at least once a day and time
stamps are added to the filenames. Some log files that grow rapidly are rotated more frequently
(determined by file size); this rotation may happen up to once an hour. Most log files have the following
suffix: .log.<YYYYMMDD.> The time zone for log rotation and filename suffixes is coordinated
universal time (UTC). As part of the new log entry format, the log level and facility are included.
All log entries have the following changes:
Stream handle is represented in decimal format
IP addresses are represented in dotted-decimal format
Clear identification of where a stream is going rather than a MAC address
