Synchronize time on several AIX servers ?
Hi,

I want to synchronize time on several AIX servers - I don't want to set very precise time value, but I want all the servers to have same time value.
How do I do that ?

thanks
Vilius

Easiest and best is to configure an ntp server and start ntpd on your servers that poll this ntp server for the date.

If you just want to set the time on the servers manually, use ssh or dsh if you have a CSM server and send a "date ......." to them

Code:
man date

This is no professional solution though. Best stick with ntp.

you can use the 'setclock' command

lets say you have five servers. you can put an entry in the crontab file of four of them with the command
Code:
setclock serverA

This way, all the servers will have the same time value as serverA

Hope this helps
