Thanks for the information. Is there any way to calculate the delta between host and the guest? On 06/22/2011 06:17 AM, Chaitra Gorantla wrote: > Hi all, > > We are working on Fedora 15 Host.

Usually Linux OS reads the rtc cmos to get the time when it boots. Both the guest and the host do that using hwclock. From there own the time is tracked by the clock source as delta. It is recommended that both the guest and the host will run ntpd to keep their time updated. That's the only thing that you're recommended to do.
