GI time sync question

Oracle 11g grid infrastructure install guides clearly say that if I use a time sync service other than CTSS (like Windows time service or NTP), then I must prevent backward time adjustment on all nodes of the cluster. This is done by registry key on Windows or adding -x option to NTP on Linux.
Doing so results in a problem. The time on many nodes of the cluster is running ahead of the standard time source and cannot be synchronized backwards. The net result is that the time on all nodes is out of sync by 30-40 seconds. In few more months, the time will be ahead by several minutes on several ndoes. Our server admins are getting errors in server logs because the time cannot be synchronized. I cannot find any recommendation or best practice document from Oracle on how to correct this situation unless the time on some nodes is adjusted backwards. Any ideas?
Thanks...
Arun

If I bring time forward on all servers, very soon, the servers will be way ahead of the actual time. Also, if I have to manually keep the time in sync, then why use time synchronization in first place??
We do use an external server but I am not sure which one. We want to keep the server time in sync with a standard time source. The requirement that time cannot adjusted backwards makes it impossible to do so.
Thanks...

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

SbRIo time sync with SNTP server

Hi!
I'm syncronizing a sbRIo with a time server as described here:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F2B057C72B537EA2862572D100646D43?OpenDocument
I've a couple of questions:
1) what happens if the time server becomes unreachable?
2) can source.sntp.address be specified as a name address to be rosolved by a DNS? (It seems to me that if the name can't be resolved the board boots in safe mode...)
thanks in advance for any reply,
Marco
p.s. sorry for cross-posting (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Real-Time-Measurement-and/sbRIo-time-sync-with-SNTP-server/m-p/1951123),
but the problem is quite urgent...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Marco,
1) If the SNTP time server becomes unreachable, the cRio will update the local time independently, starting from the last time value get from the server
2) You are right, it doesn't work properly. The right way to express the SNTP source is using IP address

Problem with date and time syncing itouch to macbook

i have a problem with the date and time on ical when i sync my itouch4 w my macbookair. whatever i entered into my calendar in itouch will appear different in my ical( with a 6 hrs advance difference) and the alarm i set on my itouch in the calendar doesnt ring at the right time as set even though it is shown the time that i wanted.
Both my macbook n itouch are set to the same time zone and i have checked this many many times n the time is the same on both machine. but i just dont understand why is there a time difference when synced and my alarm just dont sound at the time it was supposedly set. it rings hours later n showing a different time that it was set but in the parenthesis the right time that i had set it.
One time my computer ran out of battery n went into sleep mode and when i open it again, the time n date setting was all off. which im surprised why it had gone off. So did this create the problem i have now with the date n time sync or something else?
please help!!!!

Having the same problem, & am running Parallels (which I haven't used for some time) not boot camp. I tick the box labeled "Set time automatically" & lock the "click the lock to make changes". When I reboot, the Lock is unlocked and the "set time...." is unticked. Any ideas. Cheers.

I have a domain with 2 DCs (both virtual machines) in different Hyper-V Hosts. Dose this case make any influence on the time sync?

As title,
I have a domain with 2 DCs (both virtual machines) in 2 different Hyper-V Hosts, and one of the perform as a PDC Emulator.
Dose this case make any influence on the time sync?
i.e. Both of the VMs sync with Hyper-V host, instead the other host should sync with the PDC Emulator?
I run w32tm command and get the following result:
C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN8>w32tm /query /computer:dc8.domain8.local /source
VM IC Time Synchronization Provider
C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN8>w32tm /query /computer:hpvzh05.domain8.local /source
VM IC Time Synchronization Provider
HPVZH05.domain8.local works as PDC server.
How can I make DC8 sync with HPVZH05?

Awesome!
It looks like your PDC is successfully pulling time from an external source. DC8 is not longer pulling from Hyper-V so that is good.
When you set a client to pull from a source ( and in this case DC8 is pulling from NT5DS, which tells it to pull from the PDC), and it CAN'T pull from that source, it will default to Local CMOS Clock. This is likely an easy fix.
First, check connectivity:
- Method one- Download Portqry and run this command: portqry -n HPVZH05 -p both -e 123 and see if the results say listening, or
- Method two- Run this command from DC8: w32tm /stripchart /computer:HPVZH05
If you get any kind of error using method two, it's a connectivity issue. (Maybe you have a firewall that's blocking access?)
The other cause of this, and probably more likely in your case, is that your PDC isn't properly advertising as a reliable time source, so DC8 isn't 'allowed' to pull from it.
Try running this command on your PDC: w32tm /config /reliable:yes
Then go restart time on your PDC, THEN DC8 again. (net stop w32time & net start w32time)

Large first-time sync fills up C: drive

I just got a new 80GB video iPod for Christmas. I store a large number of ripped music files, one season of a TV series, and some photos on an external hard drive, and manage them through iTunes. The grand total for all this content was around 60GB. Long ago, I configured iTunes to use the G: drive (the external hard drive) as the location for all my content.
The first-time sync to the new iPod went fine--automatic, not manual--except that something kept filling up the C: drive. (Again, the music is actually stored on an external G: drive.) I de-installed things during the sync to free up extra GB of space. As soon as they disappeared, iTunes kept filling them up. I'm now out of hard disk space on C:, with no idea what iTunes or the iPod did to fill up this space.
If there's some cache that needs to be cleared, nothing has cleared it yet, and I have no idea where to find it (or what the consequences of clearing it will be). The process seemed smart enough to use what space was available, but no more. In other words, the sync continued, even after there was no room left on the C: drive.
I had recently updated iTunes, which for reasons unknown, blew away my music library. I had just rebuilt it before doing the sync.
The lack of space on the home PC puts me in a dangerous situation, given how fussy WIndows gets when it doesn't have spare room on the hard disk to use for updates and other operations. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Here are other specifics, for what they're worth:
Operating system = Windows XP
iPod firmware version = 1.2 (couldn't update to 1.2.1 because of the lack of disk space)
iTunes version = 7.0.2
External hard disk = Western Digital, mounted via USB
iTunes option, Keep iTunes Music folder organized = true
Podcast subscriptions = none
HP desktop Windows XP See posting

There isn't any cache for iTunes, other than the buffer for streaming radio. What you might want to do is search your My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ folder and see if there is anything in there other than the .xml library file. I know you did a search for *.mp3 but check it anyway...there is a chance that iTunes converted the files from *.mp3 to *.m4a (AAC audio)

Date and Time Sync at boot for Active Directory/Open Directory Authenticati

All the macs in my school district are set to automatically sync their time with a network time server. They do not do this unless the system preference is opened. This poses a problem as all our users must authenticate against an Active Directory and an Open Directory server. If the time is out of sync they can not login, and therefore can not fix the time. I must then login in with a local admin account set the time and then the network account can login. I have tried using direct IP addresses for the NTP server. That doesn't work either. I have adjusted the tolerance of the AD server to accept a large discrepancy in time (did not work). Set the users to be mobile accounst (local home folders), did not work. The only fix will be to ensure that the time does sync at boot, before login. Is there a way to force the computer to sync at boot to a given NTP server, prior to the login window appearing?

I have come up with my own solution for this issue. It is a two part solution. We found that the computers are experiencing time drift and that after they get out of sync by 5 minutes they can no longer login. One would think that the setting in the Date and Time system preference to automatically synchronize the time would take care of this. That however is not the case that check mark does not affect the ntp service at all. It merely eliminates the need to click a button when entering the system preference. How did we discover this? well that is part of the solution. We used webmin (http://www.webmin.com) to look at the ntp configuration. No matter what changes we made with the Date & Time preferences nothing changed in the system ntp settings. So on to the solution: Install webmin, and configure the ntp protocol manually to sync at your desired interval (I did hourly). This stops time drift. Next create a startup item and associated plist to force time sync at boot (be sure to loop it as different machines initialize their network cards slower). I have made ours available for download (http://www.manheimcentral.org/~getzt/netTime.zip). I hope this helps others. We have found that this works fairly well.

FCP Sound Syncing Question

Hey Everyone,
I have an audio syncing question for you. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am cutting in FCP. I logged and captured my footage and with timecode breaks, etc. the tape was cut up, and I was left with eight files, let's call them Footage1-Footage8. I have completed my cut of the piece using the in-camera audio that was linked to the video on the DV tape that I imported. Our sound guy in the field used a DAT recorder to record the production audio and apparently captured the timecode to the audio files, so that it matches the video (i.e. the DAT recorder and our cameras - DVX-100s had synced timecode during the shoot). The DVD he gave me has 20 audio files as .wav, let's call them Audio1-Audio20. My question is, now that I have finished my cut, I would like to replace the current audio tracks with the production audio. How can I sync the audio with the video and replace it in what I've cut. Or perhaps I can't, in which case - how can I sync them up and THEN cut, but I'd really rather have to not do that, lol!
Thanks for your advice!

Sorry about the long winded post, though.
I guess my real question, summarized is - is there a way to sync separately recorded production audio (that has timecode) with the footage that I shot (that has the same timecode as the audio, but also has in camera audio that accompanies the video track - I would imagine I can just "cut" the extra audio tracks, however).
I'm at my bay trying to figure this out, and I've got nothing, and the people I work for don't want to spring for that bwf2xml program you were talking about What's the emote for pulling one's hair out?

Real time interview questions

Hi gurus
Can anyone of u pls give answers for the following real time interview questions.
1.How do you implement a new object required by ur Client...and what are all the proccess up to Production Server....?
2.What is the Role played by RFC is SAP Systems
3.. What are all the initial things done to you while u are put in to the team....?
Pls do the needfull
Thanking you
sure i will assign full points

1._How do you implement a new object required by ur Client...and what are all the proccess up to Production Server....?_
- Develop the New Info object
- Test them Info object in Quality(if you got one in your Landscape)
   - To test in Quality,Firstly you need to "TRANSPORT"the obj to Quality(TRANSPORT CONNECTION - OBJ - TRANSPORT(assign to a Transport Request)(truck icon)
   - Once the obj is Tested fine without any bugs.errors,
- Transport the obj from DEV to PROD
- Transport Conn - Obj -Transport(truck icon)
   - SE09 (Release the particular Request)
   - STMS (Import the Request to PROD) (Can be done by BASIS)
2)_What is the Role played by RFC is SAP Systems_
    - RFC(Remote Function Call) used to help establish connection between the BW and the Source system.
    - You setup the RFC in SM59
3)_What are all the initial things done to you while u are put in to the team....?_
    - This literally depends on the Type of Project you are deployed.(Implementation/Support)
Hope this stuff help you out..
cheers

New 5th Gen iPod, 1st time sync 15 hours & still going? What's wrong?

My library is 53GB, is this why it is taking so long? When I had 4th Gen 60GB Photo is took about 3.5 hours 1st time sync. What is going wrong? Please help!
Happy Holidays,
Sebastian

My 8GB of info took my computer 3.5 hours with a USB 1.1 connection (I don't have USB 2.0 on my tower). Are you using an older computer this time? A different USB port than before? When I added songs to my iPod from my laptop, which does have USB 2.0, it went lightning fast... compared to my tower.
It sounds like you've got a USB 1.1 connection, so, doing the math, it should take about 24 hours to transfer 53GB of info... according to my calculations.

Setting up Time Sync when all domain controllers are virtual machines?

We have 2 existing server 2008 domain controllers on 2008 Hyper-V. We plan to set up a third domain controller in a new AD site at a remote site that will be Server 2012 R2 on 2012R2 Hyper-V.
PDC role DC is on one of the DCs in the original site.
How should time syncing be set?
From what I've read, all Hyper-V time synchronization between the virtual domain controllers and their Hyper-V host should be disabled.
So, do we set up the PDC virtual machine to sync to an external site source and then expect the other 3 domain controllers to automatically sync with the time of the PDC?
What happens with this process during a PDC reboot or if that PDC role domain controller becomes unavailable for any other reason? Does one of the other DCs then take over the role of domain time source even through they don't have access to the external
time source?
Should we also turn off Hyper-V time syncing for every Hyper-V guest that is a member of our domain (since they should also be getting their time from a domain controller) or only turn off the Hyper-V time sync for the domain controllers alone?

Simply make sure that time sync is disabled on your Hyper-V VM. For time configuration in AD domain, I have documented that here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18573.time-synchronization-in-active-directory-forests.aspx

They don't take over the role of PDC. The downtime of your PDC should not take a long time. That is why it is important to regularly monitor the health status of your DCs using SCOM or third party tools. The one I usually recommend is
Lepide Auditor - Active Directory: http://www.lepide.com/lepideauditor/active-directory.html. The solution allows you also to trackchanges
in your AD domain.
Should we also turn off Hyper-V time syncing for every Hyper-V guest that is a member of our domain

I would recommend turning off the Hyper-V time sync on all your Hyper-V VMs that are domain-joined.
