CentOS 6.9: ntpdate[3115]: no server suitable for synchronization found

Doing a cluster experiment with cloned VMs and then using ntpdate it throws an error. The machines can ping each other, selinux and iptables are turned off.

[root@Server_2 ~]# service ntpd stop
Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ]
[root@Server_2 ~]# ntpdate Server_1

After tossing and turning for almost 20 minutes, the sad blowing ended with a reboot of the machine, then nothing was done and it was fine again.

[root@Server_2 ~]# ntpdate Server_1
