      I have many CentOS 7 VMs on Hyper-v and randomly (and rarely) I have this problem.

      The system will be unreachable. I log in to the console and i see it has no IP address. a quick ifdown/ifup and it is back. I assume it is failing to renew?

      Where can I look to try and locate the cause?

        In theory, /var/log/messages should hold some clues.

          but what do i look for is the better question I guess.

            Your DHCP server's logs may also hold some clues if you can narrow down the time frame when the IP address vanishes.

                So the ntpd service is not present on this system. but I know I enabled an NTP server during the CentOS 7 setup.

                Anyone know where that setting is? I'm not finding anything with my Google Fu this morning except answers relating to ntpd.

                  It doesn't use ntpd anymore. I think it uses chrony.

                  Make sure you have it set so that the time isn't coming from the hardware, I had that issue with Linux VMs on both VMWare and Hyper-V in the past.

                    Yeah, chrony is the new replacement.

                      It seems i left a couple public servers in there. But hardware, should only be possibly hit on boot up right?

                        I'm not sure about that. I know I had to disable it per VM on Hyper-V.

                          Right, I know that, but i thought it always checks hardware on boot regardless of setting... It is not checked.

                            Good, then maybe that public server was the issue.

                                Same issue different server.
                                Why is the time so f'd up.
                                I checked the Hyper-V server, it has the correct time.

                                I checked chrony on the CentOS box, it had public NTP servers. Boom problem.
                                Changed the ntp servers to internal sources and magic.

                                  So the reason I posted to this again.. If you cannot trust ntp.org anymore how are we supposed to handle this.

                                      It pulled the wrong date for the server, which then f'd up the DHCP renew.

                                        So the reason I posted to this again.. If you cannot trust ntp.org anymore how are we supposed to handle this.

                                        What did I miss? Why can't we trust NTP.org?

                                        Crazy time skew with ntp.org and chrony. Never had the issue with the ntpd system. I've had it on some of my new CentOS servers as well. We have a atomic clock on site here but if using ntp,org we get some serious skew.

                                          Are we sure that ntp.org was the issue? Is this repeatable?

                                            Second time it has caught me. Completely different server. Completely different client.
