Time Runs Too Fast with Linux VMs on Linux Host w/Multicore Intel or AMD Processors:
Time games at least 10-30% daily.
NTP did not work, even hourly we see server hours ahead only to be yanked back. Causes issues with database replication and logging.
Things to try:
GUEST: Edit guest .vmx file on host, add the following:
tools.syncTime = "TRUE"
GUEST: /boot/grub/grub.conf, add the following to kernel line:
"clock=pit"
HOST: /etc/vmware/config, add the following:
host.cpukHz = {cpuspeed ######## in KHz from /proc/cpuinfo}
host.noTSC = TRUE
ptsc.noTSC = TRUE
HOST: Keep ntpd running
(Note: May be on from original host install.)
HOST: Keep cpuspeed off
(Note: May be on from original host install.)
GUEST: Keep cpuspeed off (already there)
(Note: May be on from original host install.)
