Notable Changes

Note that the changes are not backward compatible and it is necessary to update playbooks that use them.

  • The following variables have been renamed according to common conventions:

    • ntp_servers to timesync_ntp_servers
    • ptp_domains to timesync_ptp_domains
    • dhcp_ntp_servers to timesync_dhcp_ntp_servers
    • clock_step_threshold to timesync_step_threshold
    • min_time_sources to timesync_min_sources
  • The NTP implementation can be chosen by setting the timesync_ntp_provider variable to either ntp or chrony. The timesync role detects the current provider and does not change it unless timesync_ntp_provider is set. The role also sets the timesync_ntp_provider_os_default variable to a value that conforms to the default choice for the OS release. To set the provider consistently for all hosts running the same OS release, use the following code in the playbook:

     timesync_ntp_provider: "{{ timesync_ntp_provider_os_default }}"
    
  • The default provider was changed to ntp on all minor versions of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 operating system for consistency. As noted above, the currently running provider will not be changed unless the timesync_ntp_provider variable is set.
