Re: [Xen-users] Problema keeping Time in HVM Guest

[Angel Motta <angelmotta@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Nerijus
Ok I will try this "localtime=1", is a little complicated because is running in prod.
For that reason I have a question, I will configure this setting and reboot the VM but the VM has to continue with service ntp running? o I have to disable this service befere the reboot?

Thanks for your assistance

Hi,

Try setting localtime=1 in VM config file and reboot. It then should
use dom0 server's time.
