Issue/Introduction

Time synchronisation is broken after Inplace Gateway upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1 .

Environment

API Gateway v11.1

Cause

This is because packages ntp and ntpdate have been substituted with the timesyncd package. (Release Notes GW 11.1)

Resolution

Failover or backup timesync sever which was configured part of Gateway 11.0 has to be reconfigured from timesyncd configuration file.

/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf
