Hello All,
I have a very large system with around 13 signaling servers, nrs and 4 smg's all at 7.6.11. The current setup for NTP is going to invalid ip addresses for primary and secondary NTP. In the past it looks like these were all manually assigned to each entity. I need to setup NTP to go to the correct addresses correctly and hopefully cause as little service interruption as possible. The CS1000E PBX is tied to Avaya Aura System Manager as we are migrating over slowly.
I have never done this before and after reading through as much documentation and various posts I seem to be getting more confused. I think what I need to do is the following steps:
Step 1. - Login to the Base Manager of my Leader Signaling Server, click on Data and Time, Set the Transfer Mode to Insecure, Set the Clock Source NTP Server type to Primary Server, type of Clock Source to External, add both NTP server addresses, click save, then click sync now.
Step 2. - Login to the Base Manager of my Follower 1 Signaling Server, click on Data and Time, Set the Transfer Mode to Insecure, Set the Clock Source NTP Server type to Primary Server, type of Clock Source to External, add both NTP server addresses, click save, then click sync now.
Step 3. - Login to the Element Manager of the main Node, click on Date and Time, edit NTP, check Synchronize System Clock with NTP, set Transfer Mode to Insecure, make sure all my linux elements are listed in the System Linux Elements IP addresses list, Under CS1000 System NTP servers set the Primary NTP server IP address to the IP address of the Base manager of my Leader Signaling Server, set the Secondary NTP server IP Address to the IP address of my Follower Signaling Server, click Save. Then click Sync Now under Network Time Protocol.
Step 4. - Login to the Base Manager of each of my SMG's (there are 4), click on Data and Time, Set the Transfer Mode to Insecure, Set the Clock Source NTP Server type to Primary Server, type of Clock Source to External, add both NTP server addresses, click save, then click sync now.
Are these steps correct? The Base Managers of my Leader and Follower 1 Signalling Servers will clock off the external NTP servers and the rest of my Linux elements will clock off of the Base Managers? What would be the service impact of the following steps (i.e. reboots, service restarts)?
I would be grateful for any advice...
