similar to: Clock fast - work around

Hi everyone: Just a follow up on the fast clock issue: "Can you double-check that 'cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq' outputs the same number as your 'cpuKHZ' setting in your config.ini file?" There is no cpufreq directory under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0; all I see is "cache" (dir), "crash_notes" (a file) and

hello, a big time drift appears along time on a guest VM (time is going too slow on the guest). here the setup: ~ physical machine ~ Centos 6.0 x86_64 time set with ntpd Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 /proc/cpuinfo shows the "constant_tsc" bit. ~ guest OS ~ Centos 6.0 x86_64 /proc/cpuinfo : processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 13

I use a CentOS5.8 server with KVM. I have several virtual machines running on it. When I reboot the server (takes 10 minutes) all VMs are saved and correctly restored. The time on the clients is however of by 10 minutes. nptd is running on the clients and that is able to correct this big mismatch. But what I don't understand is that the host does not seem to help the client with it's

Hi list, I have a problem with this stuff, i read many documents about it but i would like to know if anyone have got to resolve the problem. The point is that my vm has the clock unsynchronize, i tried many things and it seems that its work fine but im not sure. Now im using ntpd to synchronize the time but im not trust on it because it didnt work before. First, i tried the jiffies on

Hi everyone, I have been struggling with having the clock of Linux VM's (including CentOS 4.6 and 5.1) running very fast under VMWare, no matter what I have tried. My platform: - AMD Turion X2 TL-60 - AMD 690 chipset with integrated Radeon x1250 (probably doesn't concern in this case) - Windows Vista Ultimate x64, all Windows Update patches loaded (no SP1 yet) - 4GB RAM - VMWare

When booting 2.6.37 (from kernel.org) under Xen 4.1, there are apparently issues with timer interrupts being delivered to the dom0. Repeatedly causing an interrupt (for example, the ACPI power button) will allow the system to boot, as does adding "clocksource=jiffies" to the kernel command line. This is only present under Xen, not when booting the same kernel on real hardware. When boot

Dear fellow Xen''ers! I''m having a problem with my new Xen-enabled colocation server.. I hope ( at least ;) ) one of you guys know how to fix this problem.. For a certain amount of time ( 1-2 days ) the domU runs fine.. until the console starts spitting out messages like these: [80182.004456] clocksource/0: Time went backwards: delta=-6917292717540055641 shadow=80182004054805

Hi, I have upgraded my Dell C151 to the latest 5.6. I have always used ntp to sync this machine and then the rest of the machines in the network would sync from it. Since the update I cannot keep the right time on the machine. This is with / without ntp. I have attempted various scenario's with no luck. I am now trying the old kernel now as I type this out. If anyone else has any

Hi Is there a way i can trigger a script within a libvirt guest immediately after resume? E.g. i don't see any log message that indicates to a guest that it had been paused and was just woken up. The problem that i am trying to solve is that when i reboot the host (pausing all guests), the guests' system clocks are a few minutes late after resume. The guests RTC (current_clocksource =

Howdy, I am having time-drift issues on my CentOS VM. I had referred to following documentation: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VMWare_Server , however it didn't help. I used kickstart for creating this VM and I am listing important steps in ref to timekeeping issue. Any comments or suggestion would be appreciated. - CS. ------------------- # For EL5 virtual machines, Append the

Dear list(s), we are running a cluster of virtual machines on ganeti 2.15.2 on top of qemu-kvm 2.1.2. Hosts are Debian jessie (Kernel 3.16). We have big trouble with timekeeping on guests, no matter if these guests are lenny, squeeze, wheezy or jessie. Clock drifts heavily on some, others are fine. There is no obvious pattern on which guest this happens and on which not, but it seems the clock

The custom_sched_clock hook is broken. The result from sched_clock needs to be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles. The TSC is insufficient for this purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled). To make the scheduler

Hi All I'm trying to set up a machine with a simple samba configuration. I've written the config file with no problems, however any time I attempt to connect to the shares it doesn't work. Firstly, the smb.conf: [global] netbios name = TEMPSRV workgroup = LIPSON map to guest = Bad User [ittechs] comment = Should not see me... path = /var/smb/ittechs read only = no force user =

Hi, We ran a few experiments to compare performance of VMware's paravirtualization technique (VMI) and hardware MMU technologies (HWMMU) on VMware's hypervisor. To give some background, VMI is VMware's paravirtualization specification which tries to optimize CPU and MMU operations of the guest operating system. For more information take a look at this

Hi there, I am getting very low throughput (around 0.29Mbps) while running netperf benchmark for guest to guest communication on a single physical host. To analyse where the time is spent in hypervisor I wanna use profiling. Please help me choosing good profiler according to my requirments. Should it be better in my case, Xentrace, gprof, xenoprof  or Oprofile. Is it possible to use some vtune

Why are these APIC clock init hooks dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE ? include/asm/paravirt.h: static inline void setup_boot_clock(void) { paravirt_ops.setup_boot_clock(); } static inline void setup_secondary_clock(void) { paravirt_ops.setup_secondary_clock(); } (via the vmi timer patch). - James -- James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
