All your nodes need to have the correct time. You can specify an NTP
server in the Packstack answer file or as a CLI option and then Packstack
will configure your nodes to use that NTP server. If you don't specify an
NTP server then Packstack doesn't handle NTP so you will have to do it
yourself. Either way, make sure that all nodes always have the correct time.
FWIW, i did the below and re-ran my packstack:
CONFIG_NTP_SERVERS= <my intranet's time server> in my answers file
# packstack --answer-file ./packstack-answers.txt
It showed ...
...
...
Installing time synchronization via NTP [ DONE ]
...
..
Now checking on my nodes, I don't still see NTP service running...
[root@rhsdev4 ~]# ps aux| grep ntp
root 20433 0.0 0.0 112640 960 pts/0 S+ 13:58 0:00 grep
--color=auto ntp
[root@rhsdev4 ~]# systemctl status ntpd.service
ntpd.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
[root@rhsdev4 ~]# systemctl status ntpdate.service
ntpdate.service - Set time via NTP
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpdate.service; disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
*Now what did i do wrong ? :)*
