| | |  Date/Time problem on a Zimbra Box
Hello all,
I'm not sure if the problem is with Zimbra, but i have installed Zimbra OS Edition on a virtual machine (HyperV) under CentOS 5.2 since 4 months ago. I have a problem with the Date/Time on the machine, i set the correct Date/Time, after few hours or days, i notice that mails have wrong tima or date, i check the date and in found that the Date/Time are not correct.
Do you have any idea? It can comes from the HyperV ? From Zimbra?
Info: I have an other Exchange server on a virtual machine on the same HyperV server and i dont have any Date/Time problem on that Exchange Server.
Thank you for your help.
Regards. |

I know time drift issues are pretty common using VMware, and I assume the same probably applies to HyperV. This is most definitely not a Zimbra issue.

yeah not sure about hyperv but using esx paravirtualization with a vmi enabled linux kernel has eliminated time issues in linux guests for us |

I've not tested this with HyperV, but in VMware, running an ntp daemon in the guest, may also work. However, do not forget to insert the option
tinker panic 0
As the first line of /etc/ntp.conf. Also, I assume there is something in HyperV similar to the VMware guest daemon, which allows you to synchronize the clock between host and guest.
