set [node node-id] dtss ...
Modifies the attributes for the dtss entity. The modifiable
attributes and their data types [in brackets] are:
advertisement interval [relative-time]
check interval [relative-time]
courier role [role]
error tolerance [relative-time]
global directory [full-name]
lan timeout [relative-time]
maximum inaccuracy [relative-time]
query attempts [integer]
servers required [integer]
synchronization hold down [relative-time]
wan timeout [relative-time]
Example:
set dtss servers required 3
1 – advertisement_interval
Default: 0-01:30:00.000 Value: 0-00:00:30.000-99-99:99:99.999
Specifies the amount of time between a server's advertisement
broadcasts.
2 – check_interval
Default: 0-01:30:00.00 Value: 0-00:00:30.000-99-99:99:99.999
Specifies the amount of time between checks for faulty servers.
Applicable only to servers that have external time-providers.
3 – courier_role
Specifies a server's interaction with the set of global servers.
backup courier The local server becomes a courier if none are
available on the LAN.
courier The local server synchronizes with the global set
of servers.
noncourier The local server does not routinely synchronize
with the global set of servers. This is the
default.
4 – error_tolerance
Default: 0-00:10:00.000 Value: 0-00:00:00.500-99-99:99:99.999
Specifies the maximum separation allowed between the local clock
and the computed time before synchronizations become abrupt
rather than gradual (monotonic).
5 – global_directory
Specifies the full name of the DECdns directory that contains the
list of DECdts servers that belong to the global set.
6 – lan_timeout
Default: 0-00:00:02.000 Value: 0-00:00:01.000-0-00:05:00.000
Specifies the amount of time the node waits for a response
to a synchronization request before sending another request
or declaring a server to be unavailable. The node sends
three requests before declaring a non-responding server to be
unavailable.
7 – maximum_inaccuracy
Default: 0-00:01:40.00 Value: 0-00:00:00.0 - 99 99:99:99.99
Specifies the inaccuracy limit for the node. When the node exceeds
the maximum inaccuracy setting, it attempts to synchronize.
8 – query_attempts
Default: 3 Value: 1-10
Specifies the number of attempts that a node makes to contact a
server before the node considers the server unavailable.
9 – servers_required
Default: 3 (servers) Value: 1-32
1 (clerks)
Specifies the minimum number of servers the specified node must
successfully query for time values before it can synchronize.
10 – synchronization_hold_down
Default: 0-00:10:00.0(Clerks) Value: 0-00:00:30.0- 01 00:00:00.00
0-00:02.00.0-(Servers)
Specifies the interval a node must wait to synchronize. Also
specifies synchronization frequency when a node reaches the value
specified by the maximum inaccuracy characteristic.
11 – wan_timeout
Default: 0-00:00:15.000 Value: 0-00:00:01.000-0-00:10:00.000
Specifies the amount of time the node waits for a response to a
WAN synchronization request before sending another request and
declaring a global server to be unavailable. The node sends three
requests before declaring a non-responding global server to be
unavailable.
