NTP (on Solaris)

Posted in 2006

Summary

Dirk Moolman asked whether running NTP alongside Informix on Solaris (IDS 7.31 FD3) caused any issues. Thomas Ronayne and Paul Watson reported no problems, Thomas across 30 Solaris and 5 Linux boxes. david noted the only known issue is that Enterprise Replication fails if clocks differ by more than 15 minutes, which NTP prevents.

NTP has nothing whatsoever to do with Informix, it just keeps the system clock synchronized and Informix (as far as I know) takes its time stamps from the operating system. No, never ever had one problem with NTP and Informix on Solaris boxes (30 of 'em) or Linux boxes (5 of those), all synced with NTP. Everything works -- if you let it.

The only time problem I have ever heard of is that ER does not work if clock are more than 15 minutes apart. NTP should avoid that!
