Oracle Linux VM setting time wrong on boot
I have a newly built Oracle Linux 5.7 vm running on OVM 3.0.3. Every time it boots the clock goes back 6 hours. I have the vm set up to use ntp which is successfully getting time from ntp pool servers. The OVM servers are configured to get their time from OVM manager.
I am in Eastern time which is 5 hours behind UTC so I don't think it is confusion between EST and UTC since the clock is losing 6 hours.
The OVM users guide advises to set "xen.independent_wallclock = 1" in /etc/sysctl.conf, but does not specify if this is done on the OVM servers or the guest vms. I have it set this way in both environments right now, but this behavior remains the same whether the setting is 0 or 1.
The Linux guest has been fully updated from ULN and has the oracle-validated packages installed.
The oracle-validated package updated the kernel boot parameters to include "clocksource=pit nohpet noptimer".
Any ideas?
Thx
