Description khover 2022-10-25 20:20:55 UTC
Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.10/installing/install_config/installing-customizing.html#installation-special-config-chrony_installing-customizing

Section Number and Name: 

Configuring chrony time service

Describe the issue: 

contents:
      inline: |
        pool 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst 

When using config: pool 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst

Instead of config: server 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst

Will deploy a chrony config that points to multiple NTP servers at once.

Suggestions for improvement:

server 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.rhel.pool.ntp.org iburst 

Additional information: 

Fix for all version docs.

This doc has negatively impacted deployments of OCS/ODF with clock skew issues, when the config is deployed as shown in current documentation.

Clock skew can cause multiple issues in OCS/ODF.
