Note that in the above, the name of the file in the /etc/init.d folder must match the
name supplied following the /sbin/chkconfig –-add command (in this case, both are
“timesync”).
In addition, if you choose to start TimeSync at system boot time, be sure that the
RunAsService flag in the timesync.conf file is set to True. See Process Options below
for more information.
8. Dismount the CD if your system is not configured to do so automatically, for example:
[root WS_SW]# cd /tmp
[root tmp]# eject /mnt/cdrom
9. Edit the TimeSync configuration file, timesync.conf, and create a custom configuration
for the system as described in Configuring TimeSync.
10. If you will be running TimeSync with client mode enabled (i.e. TimeSync will be
updating the local system time), you should disable the built-in Linux NTP client to
avoid potential erratic changes to system time.
11. In order for the TimeCom CI to communicate with TimeSync, loop-back support
(address 127.0.0.1) must be enabled on the system.
3.3 Installing TimeSync on a Windows Server
TimeSync is packaged on a CD as an independent product. To install TimeSync on a
Windows system, proceed as follows using the product CD:
1. Place the CD into the CD drive on the Windows system. The TimeSync installer should
start automatically. If it does not, locate TimeSyncSetup.exe in the WS_SW folder on
the CD and double-click it to begin installation.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install TimeSync. It is recommended that the
default installation options be chosen.
The following files will be installed into the default program files folder (e.g.
C:\Program Files\HP\TimeSync for Windows):
File Name
Description
License.txt
The product license file
ReadMe.txt
The product README file
TimeCom.exe
TimeCom object file
TimeSync.conf
TimeSync configuration file
