What Unity box is this?. Can you raise a SR for this?.  If you want to try yourself, you can try to adjust the time with little difference (say 15 mins from current time) - repeat this several times until the time is close to the NTP servers time.  To check the difference from unity ssh login:  00:37:51 service[NAME]-spa spa:~> ntpdc -c sysinfo X.X.2.25 ***Warning changing to older implementation ***Warning changing the request packet size from 160 to 48 system peer:          Y.Y.146.100 system peer mode:     client leap indicator:       00 stratum:              2 precision:            -16 root distance:        0.02322 s root dispersion:      0.01038 s reference ID:         [Y.Y.146.100] reference time:       dba81027.be7cd000  Wed, Oct 12 2016  1:28:07.744 <-- this is the time at ntp server system flags:         ntp calibrate jitter:               389.283691 s stability:            126.760 ppm broadcastdelay:       0.003906 s authdelay:            0.000122 s 00:41:14 service[NAME]-spa spa:~> ntpdate -q X.X.2.25 server X.X.2.25, stratum 2, offset 2841.831678, delay 0.27527 12 Oct 00:41:42 ntpdate[23238]: step time server X.X.2.25 offset 2841.831678 sec 00:41:42 service[NAME]-spa spa:~> date Wed Oct 12 00:43:24 UTC 2016  Above example, the local time is 2841 seconds (47 minutes) behind ntp time.

Hello all  I'm trying to setup ntp server on unity 500. I've tried with this command uemcli -d Y.Y.146.100 -u admin -p XXXX /net/ntp/server create -server X.X.2.25  But I receive the following messages Operation failed. Error code: 0x60008f4 A reboot is required to set the Date and Time. Please use the reboot dialog box from the GUI or specify allowDU/allowReboot option from the CLI to reboot and set the time. (Error Code:0x60008f4)  How can setup ntp without reboot..this box is just in production and I'm not able to reboot all the system  thanks  Matteo
