NTP - Server A will not query state of NTP but ping OK

[Nick44]

Hi,
CM6.2, HA pair.
Server B set to local domain NTP sources "tic" and "toc".
Both sources ping OK and query OK, and server syncs time fine.

Server A will ping both sources fine, but the query state button is greyed out, and NTP will not start.
running command line ntpdate -d ip_address reports PING OK but then "no server suitable for synchronisation found"

Both servers are on the same sub-net.

When routine interchange takes place, clock drifts off ( as expected )

Why isn't Server A able to query NTP, and how can I fix please?

In the affected server's linux CLI, try 'ntpq' and then 'as' and you'll see associations printed. Each association has a number. type 'rv ###' where ### is that number and post the results.

The flashcode is the reason why its unsuitable. Flashcode 0x00 = OK and you're using it, otherwise the output and flashcode give you a better idea why it can't sync.

Working server ( Server B )
returns a list of 2 targets
rv gives a flash of 00
