Description of problem: ----------------------- I have created a hosted-engine with a single node and added 2 more nodes to the hosted-engine cluster. I observed that the all the hosts are not network time synced with the help of NTP Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ------------------------------------------------------------- RHEV 3.6 beta3 How reproducible: ----------------- Always Steps to Reproduce: -------------------- 1. Create a hosted-engine setup on a host ( RHEL 7.2 ) 2. Add 2 more nodes to the cluster 3. Check for the localtime on all the nodes using 'date' command Actual results: --------------- All the nodes in the hosted-engine cluster is not network time synced Expected results: ----------------- hosted-engine deployment should take care of network time sync the nodes added to the cluster Additional info: ---------------- For Hyperconvergence deployment, gluster servers needs to be Network Time Synced using NTP protocol. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/3.1/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#Network_Time_Protocol_Setup The date as found on the three hosts added to the cluster : host1 ------ [root ~]# date Tue Feb 16 11:47:29 IST 2016 host2 ----- [root@ ~]# date Tue Feb 16 11:47:28 IST 2016 host3 ------ [root@ ~]# date Tue Feb 16 01:17:28 EST 2016
Neither ovirt-hosted-engine-setup nor ovirt-host-deploy handles NTP daemon. Looks like VDSM is the only one handling it. Moving to VDSM.
Not specific to hosted engine.
We indeed don't handle NTP in the product, and have no plans to do that.
