x x x After Oracle Solaris has been kept active
for a long time, powering off and then
powering on a physical partition (PPAR)
may cause the Oracle Solaris time to
deviate.
This phenomenon occurs in one of the
following cases:
- The setting specifying the XSCF as an
NTP client is enabled and the Oracle
Solaris does not use the NTP server.
- The setting specifying the XSCF as an
NTP client is enabled and Oracle
Solaris uses the NTP server. At the time
of Oracle Solaris booting, the ntpdate
command is not executed or the
ntpdate command fails to correct the
time.
There is no effective workaround.
Note -
To update the firmware from XCP
2232 or earlier to XCP 2040 or later for
which this problem has been resolved,
see the " RTIF2-140711-001 additional
information ".
