<div dir="ltr">Hi guys,<br><br>We have a little concern related to Fuel bootstrap node NTP sync. Currently we trying to sync time on bootstrap node with master node, but problem is that NTP protocol has long convergence time, so if we just
install master node and right after that try to start some bootstrap
node - bootstrap fails to sync time with master due to that fact that
master doesn't appear as "trust time source" at that moment.<br>How we can solve that problem:<br><br>1. We can start bootstrap long time after master (when master will convergence it's time) - seems that it's a bad idea, cause master node convergence time depends on upstream NTP servers and may be quite long - user shouldn't wait so long time to just start bootstrap node.<br><br>2.
We can use master local time as "trust" forcibly - actually, we already
do that for case when master is a bare metal node. We can do it for
virtual node too, it is not such bad idea as many can say, especially
when master node stratum will low (10-12).<br><br>3. We can mask
return value for bootstrap node ntpdate service such way that it always
will return success -
it's a dirty hack, it will calm down customers, but it doesn't solve
problem - time will be unsynced.<br><br>As for me - second option
is best. What do you think about it?<br></div>
