Hi... not sure if this is germain to your timing issue with vmware... http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf we had an issue that was killing us regarding our virtual linux servers in vmware going way off course regarding timing. as i recall, there was a config parameter that we were able to set, based on the above article... good luck!! -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Scott Ruckh Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 10:35 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Linux Virtual Servers ---- Original Message ----- From: "Northrup, Wilson" <wilson_northrup@xxxxxxxxx> To: "General Red Hat Linux discussion list" <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx>; "debu" <debajit_kataki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 6:50 AM Subject: RE: Linux Virtual Servers > How's your time synchronization over say, a week, on the linux servers > running on ESX? Are you running any RHEL 64bit? Any drift? > I have never had much luck with clock synchronization (of Linux guest hosts) running 64-bit VMware Workstation on CentOS 4.6 server. I have tried all the runtime kernel parameters, compiling custom kernels, using VMWare tools, and every other option I have found on the VMware site, but nothing has worked well for me. I usually wind up setting up a cron job to synch to the server every 5 minutes or so. Horrible hack, but it is the only thing that has worked for me. On the other hand, I have had no issues with VirtualBox (with either Windows or Linux guests). I run both VirtualBox guest and VMWare guest OSes side-by-side without too many issues. I do not have any 64-bit guests, so I am not sure if things are better in that realm. The clock synch issue in VMWare has always plagued me. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
