Ntp issue redhat 5.11

HI Admin,

We are facing a weird issue with NTP. A physical server RHEL 5.11 is migrated as P2V. NTP was running & clocks are in sync on source server before migration.

After the SVMotion, On the target Linux guest, the ntpd is not able to sync with any of the clocks except local. Forcefully it works with ntpdate -u <clock name>, but if I check with ntpq -p, it still shows INIT.

What can be the issue ? The vmware timesync is disabled. Any clue ??

Did you check VMWare Knowledge Base: Timekeeping best practices for Linux guests (1006427)?
