Start SNTP manually

To enable the SNTP application you have configured, you need to start SNTP manually. You also need to do this when you want to restart SNTP service in conditions where you are changing configuration.

Note: If you are making changes to an existing SNTP server configuration, you must first stop the SNTP server before you can restart it. For information about how to stop SNTP, see Method 1: Stop the current SNTP session.

Note that the starting processes are different for iSeries™ A used as both client and server and SNTP client.

To start SNTP on the iSeries A server that has been configured as an SNTP client and server, perform the following steps:

  1. In iSeries Navigator, expand iSeries Server A > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
  2. Right-click SNTP and click Start > All.

To start SNTP on clients on other systems in the network, perform the following steps:

  1. In iSeries Navigator, expand iSeries Server B > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
  2. Right-click SNTP and click Start > Client.
