Description François Rigault 2022-01-06 16:24:18 UTC
OCP Version at Install Time: 4.9
Platform: AzureStack, Azure
Architecture: x86_64


What are you trying to do? What is your use case?
configure Chrony as documented
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/time-sync

What happened? What went wrong or what did you expect?
We need to define through butane machineconfig
- the udev rule to create /dev/ptp_hyperv (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1991834)
- the proper chrony configuration using /dev/ptp_hyperv and makestep
I expect it to work outside the box without any configuration needed.


What are the steps to reproduce your issue? Please try to reduce these steps to something that can be reproduced with a single RHCOS node.
- boot a rhcos VM on AzureStack
- chronyc tracking: shows NTP being used instead of the hardware clock.

(side note: there is no documentation on how to upgrade a "single RHCOS node")

Implemented on FCOS through
