RE: TCP9110 30 DIAGNOSTIC The maximum threshold for SNTP Client errors has been reached.

Rob,

What is your SNTP Attributes set to for remote server.

Change SNTP Attributes (CHGNTPA)

Type choices, press Enter.

Remote system . . . . . . . . . '198.60.73.8'

+ for more values

In our domain we have various Windows servers which also run NTP back to NIST. We point our IBM i lpars to these servers. You can have a number of these servers listed there.
How, if those Windows servers are having issues connecting to NIST (or
wherever) I'm not aware of it but, the time on my IBM i, and my Windows client, seem to be in sync with http://www.timeanddate.com

TCP9110 30 DIAGNOSTIC The maximum threshold for SNTP Client errors has
been reached.
Connecting to host 198.60.73.8 using port 123.

I've had about 30 of these starting 08/10/16 22:08:01, repeating about
every 3 to 4 hours.
When I check the NIST Internet Time Servers site
http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi

I do see that 198.60.73.8 is "not available" at times.

Is there a better recommended site to use Change SNTP Attributes
(CHGNTPA)?
Remote system . . . . . . . . . '198.60.73.8'
