This article explains the issue wherein the installation of Paragon Automation fails after the task "TASK [chrony : start the chrony service]".

The installation failed at "TASK [chrony : start the chrony service]" along with "FAILED - RETRYING: [IPADDRESS]: Wait for NTP synchronization" errors from all nodes.

On checking the output of the timedatectl shows a mismatch on all node.

In the chrony.conf, the setting for install_chrony shows as true

The /etc/chrony.conf file is the primary configuration file for the chronyd daemon, which manages time synchronization on a Linux system.

To resolve this issue, please set the value for install_chrony under /etc/chrony.conf to false.

This will resolve the issue and the installation will not fail with this error.
