Hi all, If you are using the kernel divider= option in your vmware quest, you are probably aware of the bugs reported at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=315471 Someone @redhat "confirmed" the fix is in the test kernel -92. I tried it but it seems to have the same problem as before - when used with clocksource=pit, it hangs on bootup. Wonder if some of you can test this

...igure ESX 2.5.x Server: http://tinyurl.com/ycpcfv <http://tinyurl.com/ycpcfv> To configure Windows Guest OS: http://tinyurl.com/yctxrr <http://tinyurl.com/yctxrr> To configure CentOS w/o X installed, you still need to install the vmware tools. Edit the vmx file for your guest, tools.syncTime="TRUE". In grub.conf, add clock=pmtmr as a kernel option. You'll need to shutdown the guest OS, reload the vmx file, then restart the system. If you have X running, then you can use the vmware tools much like windows to configure time sync with the host system. HTH Mark --------...

...d it works with no major problems, except that the guest clock drifts ahead very slightly. So far, it looks like several seconds of drift per day. Not a show-stopper, but still a concern. With HZ=100, our time sync was spot on. In both cases we are using "clock=pit nosmp noapic" and tools.syncTime="TRUE". If it matters, our host machines are CentOS 4.6 x86_64. Can anyone comment on the current status of bugs with the divider option? Is anyone getting accurate time sync with divider=10 with 2.6.9-78.0.1? Is there anything else to watch out for? Is there any fix for the slight time...

Hello - I am using AH on VMWARE. I have noticed that the date and time periodically loses sync with the server system time. Does anyone know why this would be, or where if I need to change a setting somewhere so it keeps time properly? Thanks! Alan. --------------------------------- Want to be your own boss?

Hi, I'm about to setup a CentOS4 server to install VmWare Server on it. Then I'll run 2 main guest OS, Microsoft SBS 2003, and a CentOS development LAMP server. Except from the clock settings, is there any problems/comments? Regards, Ugo

A colleague found some VMX files which omit the deviceType field. This allows -i vmx mode to parse them. Rich.

Hello all, I thought I'd ask you guys about this one since I've had no luck from vmware forums/kb or google ... I have a centos 4.3 x86-64 (athlon64 with cool-n quiet enabled) with vmware server 1.0 installed and working beautifully with the annoying exception of my guest machines clocks (centos, ubuntu etc) run very fast. I've read the vmware white paper on guest clocks, tried

Hi friends, I am running Nagios 2.7-1 on Centos 5.0 32-bit hosted on Vmware ESX 4.0. The issue I am seeing on the server is sometimes nagios is showing the below messages in /var/log/messages and as the system time gets changed some false alarms gets generated. I searched it on the google but I am not able to find the correct solution. I even posted on the nagios forum and they asked me to see
