Verifying the log file I noticed the following

root@linux:~ # tail -50 /var/opt/OV/log/OpC/ntp_mon.log
NTP Problems. Running on local time. Peer: 127.127.1.0 Cur. Offset: 0.000 Cur. Symbol: * Ref. ID: .LOCL.”

Comment the line that is saying it is using the local clock on file /etc/ntp.conf

#server 127.127.1.0 # local clock

It is using the fake driver even if it is configured to use 4 NTP servers configured

root@linux:~ # ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

Stopped NTP service and it was still listening

Found that there was already another NTP process running
