Hi all,
Does anybody know the status of this problem? I just upgraded from 3.0.4 to
3.1.0, hoping that it would contain a fix, but apparently it does not. Or
perhaps there''s some component other than Xen that I need to upgrade?
Some
library, or something?
The problem is that there''s a configuration parameter:
localtime = 1
That''s supposed to set the emulated Realtime clock seen by HVM DomUs to
local time rather than UTC.
Unfortunately, as of 3.1.0, it seems to still not work. I have localtime=1
in my DomU''s config file. DomU is windowsXP, which expects to see
local
time in RTC, yet the time I see displayed on my Windows screen is UTC.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Derek.
PS: There''s a workaround kludge I''ve tried, that involves
setting a windows
registry flag to tell it to expect UTC in the RTC. Unfortunately, this
workaround is not fully implemented in windows, so it only works some of the
time.
