similar to: Date in DomU

This must be documented somewhare but I checked the Xen 3.0 manual and the word "clock" doesn''t even exist in it. I checked the FAQ as well. I am running Xen 3.0.1 and an AMD64 CPU. I found that DOMUs time clock drifts ahead. I installed ntpdate and it reports to change the time but it does not. David _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hi all, where can I set the date in domU. ''ntpdate -u ...'' works but dosn''t set the date. date MMDDhhmm has also no effect. What can I do? -- cu Roland Kruggel  mailto: rk-liste@gmx.de System: Intel 3.2Ghz, Debian etch, 2.6.15, KDE 3.4 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

Hello ! Just a quick question about time synchronization between xen dom0 and domUs... We''re running Xen 3.1 64-bit, with 32 and 64 bits linux guests. It''s up since 89 days and the domU''s time is around 5 minutes behind the dom0, which is updated via ntpdate... Any idea why it doesn''t sync the guests even that /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock is 0 ?

Hi all, I''m experiencing problems with time: after I sync time both into dom0 and dom1 with public ntp servers, times are not the same. Do you have the same problem? Thanks Marco _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

The time appears to be perfect inside dom0, however all the domU''s tend to have a slightly faster date which gets further out of sync every day. I''m currently using Xen 3.0.3 with Gentoo Linux, under 3.0.2 I had no problems with domU clocks. Are there any known issues which could cause this? I''d strongly prefer not to run ntpd in every domU, having all domU clocks in

I think it''s perfect the way it is. Run NTP in dom0, all the domU''s then have synchronized time. I can still set timezones on all of these boxes independantly. Timezone has nothing to do with NTP synchronization. Tim:> > yeah, i''m already doing that, I was just saying, it *seemed* > like they were getting their time from domain0, and weren''t >

Hey, I have rather new installation of xen, dom0 is running ntpd and is perfectly in time. All domU''s are ~23s in future. Running ntpd on the domU''s seem to have no effect, /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock appears to have no effect. I''m running xen-unstable and 2.6.16-rc4 in AMD64 box. Any tip would be appricated. Thanks, -- ++ytti

Hi, using SLES10 I''m unable to synchronize the time of DomU with that of Dom0. There is a persistent offset of about 3 seconds!

Hello everyone! I been observing some peculiar time drift on my Xen domains (dom0 and domUs). The time (as returned by timeofday) on my domains drifts at an almost steady rate from the real time ( as read from the time stamp counter ). The drift is so constant that it makes me think there should be some simple explanation for it in the way Xen keeps time. Some info about my set up: guest OS:

Package: xen Severity: important Version: 4.0.1-1 The Xen documentation and Xen Debian wiki describes using independent_wallclock to sync domU clocks against the dom0 clock http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/4.0.1/guest/ch04s06.html http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Possible_problems_and_bugs-1 This sysctl appears to have gone away with squeeze, but the documentation is not updated Time drift is

Hi All, I am currently running a setup with a main DC ad1, that has ntpd installed and is currently configured to retrieve the time from the UK NTP time pool. I also have a second backup AD DC, ad2, on which I have not installed ntpd but I have installed ntpdate. My current understanding is that the setup I have just described is in-line with the recommended best practices outlined in the

Hello, I know, often asked, often discussed .. No recommendation from Citrix. What is the better solution? 1) use ntp in the XEN host and synchronize the guests with the clock running on the control domain (independent_wallclock=0, what the default is) 2) or use ntp in host and guest (and independent_wallclock=1) I ask, because the XEN host (bare metal) has a more stable clock and if the ntp

Hi. My domU date is about 75 seconds (and climbing?) behind domU.

Hello, On a xenserver with several (39) domUs, we experience problems with the system clock of the domUs. The clock seems to drift away several seconds up to two minutes from the dom0 clock. We do have set independent_wallclock=0. According to the docs (i.e. http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/InstallationNotes) that way domUs should use the dom0 clock, but apparently that''s not the case.

Hi, I've noticed that one of my new servers (new mobo) if drifting slowly backwards in time (in aprox. 24 hours, system time drifts back 5 minutes). I have an ntpd process which is supposed to sync with a lan time server but it's not quite working. So I'm launching a manual ntpdate or ntp-client once an hour and that seems to work. However, suppose I update system time at every hour

1. Shouldn''t the GPLPV drivers take care of the (bad) clock drift I''m experiencing in my Windows XP HVM? Or is there some other way around this problem that I haven''t been able to find on Google? How can I tell if the GPLPV drivers are active? I''ve added the /gplpv switch to the boot.ini file and the virtual NIC is definitely using the GPLPV version but other

Hi all, I am running Scientific Linux 5.1 (rhel 5.1 compatible) 64bit on a 2x4core system with 16 gb ram with 3 Scientific Linux 4.6 (rhel 4.6 compatible) guests an one Scientific Linux 5.1 guest. I do not run ntp on the guests but only on dom0. One specific Scientific Linux 4 domU always looses time synchronization with dom0. All the others SL4 and the SL5 domUs remain synchronized. There

Hi all, my first post. After years with an old server, a couple of months ago I've installed a new one. We use IMAP. After research, I chosed dovecot. It has been running for several weeks but from one week ago or so, it suddently dies about once per day. The only change done in the server one week ago has been to install ntpdate, running once per day in cron-daily. In the cron

Hi, I am facing problem in sync time within DomU with Dom0. After gone through mailing lists, I have set /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock to 0. But still DomU are not syncing their time :-S Machine using kernel-xen-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 xen-3.0.3-3.fc6 xen-libs-3.0.3-3.fc6 Please advice to solve this weird problem, Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hey all, I was watching some logs on a domU today and i suddenly noticed that the timestamps were off by something on the order of 47 seconds. I was surprised because *I don''t* run independent wall clocks. I checked some other domUs and the "drift" was also very close to that of the first domU. I also checked another dom0, Here the domUs were "only" out of sync by
