Hi Marcos,

Want to clarify one thing. If I’m using and oVirt Node based host (not EL Linux Based), does it already configured with ntp client or can I just configure any ntp client on the host ? If I just configure ntp client on the host either chronyc or ntpd, will it persist after upgrading the node ?

Thanks before.

Just to clarify: when using oVirt node 4.4, during installation you have the usual way to configure ntp inside anaconda. In 4.4, based on CentOS (stream) 8, when done that way it will configure chronyd.

In the recent past there was a bug where sometimes installation crashed when configuring ntp in certain conditions.

If you don't configure ntp at install time you can configure it later by modifying /etc/chrony.conf and starting/enabling the service from the cockpit web interface (or command line with usual commands). It will remain across reboots and/or image updates.

HIH,
