Now that you have completed installing Xpand, you will need to verify that chronyd is running so that the nodes system clocks will remain synchronized.
Xpand requires that system clocks to be in synch to perform upgrades and so that log timestamps can be correlated. Xpand will generate Database Alerts if the clocks skew too much between nodes in a cluster.
The Xpand installer automatically installs and configures chronyd. To verify chronyd is running correctly:
shell> /opt/clustrix/bin/clx cmd 'chronyc tracking' |
sample result:

Example output of chronyd not running properly:
506 Cannot talk to daemon |
You can verify that the clocks are in sync between the nodes with the following command (this assumes that the clx tool is able to properly authenticate between nodes):
shell> /opt/clustrix/bin/clx cmd 'date' |
You can similarly verify ntp on all nodes with the following command:
shell> /opt/clustrix/bin/clx cmd 'ntpstat' |
