XCP Issues Fixed in Releases Earlier Than XCP 1092 (Continued)
TABLE 6
ID Description
RTIF1- When you set XSCF as the NTP server of the
080313-001 domain, following message may appear on the
domain console at the domain start and you
may fail to perform time synchronization.
ntpdate[xx]: no server suitable for
synchronization
RTIF1- When you turn on AC power, or when you
080325-001 execute the rebootxscf(8) or switchscf(8)
command, either of the following situations
may occur.
• Following error message gets registered in
the error log, the status becomes Faulted,
and the standby XSCF becomes unable to
start.
Device error on serial
interconnection between XSCFUs
• You become unable to log in to XSCF and
your press on the POWER switch on the
operator panel can't turn on the power.

Workaround
Perform either one of the following
workarounds depending on the mode which
has been set in the xntpd of the domain.
Note - In case of step mode, the time correction
induces the time step. When the time step
occurred, it may affect the applications
running on the domain.
• In case of step mode:
Specify the -w option to execute the
ntpdate(1M) command. Until it succeeds in
synchronizing with the NTP server, the
ntpdate command retry continues at
regular intervals. In the retries, the message
which indicates that it failed to synchronize
with the NTP server can be safely ignored.
When the synchronization completed, the
time will be corrected to the time of the NTP
server.
• In case of slew mode:
Execute the ntpdate(1M) command
without specifying the -w option. In slew
mode, the time variance from the NTP
server will be corrected at 0.5 ms/second
intervals. The message which indicates that
it failed to synchronize with the NTP server
can be safely ignored. Before the time
completely corrected, there remains a time
variance between the NTP server and the
domain.
Before turning on AC power, or executing the
rebootxscf(8) or switchscf(8) command,
please confirm that XSCF LAN has been
correctly connected and linked up.
In case the situation in question occurred,
please take either of the following actions.
• Use the replacefru(8) command to
reattach the standby XSCF unit.
• Turn off the power of all domains and then
execute the system power off/on. To turn on
the power that you turned off, wait at least
30 seconds before power-on.
