Optimizing Time Synchronization

With NTP, time synchronization does not always happen instantaneously. If the time difference between the ETKMS (or any system component) and the NTP server is large enough, it can take a significant amount of time to synchronize. If this occurs, you can use the following command to set up step-tickerfiles that can improve the performance of the NTP service.

To optimize the NTP service:

1Log into the ETKMS and type, all on one line:

awk '/^server/ {print $2}' /etc/ntp.conf grep -v '127.127.1.0' > / etc/ntp/step-tickers

And press Enter.

Shutting Down or Restarting an External ETKMS

If necessary, you can restart the ETKMS server or shut down the ETKMS server completely. If you need to relocate the ETKMS server, shut it down first.

To shut down or restart the ETKMS server:

1Log in as root.

2Do one of the following:

●To reboot immediately, type reboot.

●To shut down the ETKMS server completely, type shutdown -h now.

For information about starting and stopping a local ETKMS, see “Basic Configuration for Local ETKMSs” on page 44.

Resetting the Admin Password

If you lose or forget the password to the admin account, you will not be able to log into an external ETKMS remotely. You can log in as root and change the password for the admin account, but the root user cannot log in remotely. To reset the admin password, you need to access the ETKMS directly and log in as root.
