Hi experts,

This is a production server.
Host information's are below

Code:

SunOS hostname_srv 5.10 Generic_150400-09 sun4v sparc sun4v

Now issue with ntp service, This host have zone in it with 9 hosts, Every hosts have ntp service issue. While i check for the service status it's in maintenance mode. Please have a look into below screenshot.



While getting more information about service using -x option found that service not running.

Code:

# svcs -x ntp

Troubleshooting's what i have performed:

Copied xntp xntpd from some other working server into current server using scp.

Code:

# cd /tmp

Changes the permission for those files and changed the ownership.

Code:

# chmod 555 xntp xntpd
# chown root:bin xntp xntpd

Then move those files to there corresponding directory.

Code:

# mv /tmp/xntp /lib/svc/method/
# mv /tmp/xntpd /usr/lib/inet/

After moving those two files i have disabled the ntp service and enable the service.

Code:

# svcadm disable svc:/network/ntp:default
# svcadm enable svc:/network/ntp:default

Then Checked for the status of ntp service.

Code:

# svcs ntp

This worked for me temporally, After some time it went into maintenance mode again. How can i fix this issue permanently.
