I was wondering is anyone else has seen this. We are running zVM 4.3.0 on a 9672 R66, Linux is mostly SuSE 2.4.17 with the timer patch. All developerworks patches through 8/16 I think.
We have been noticing for some time that the clocks on our Linux systems display times that seem to slowly fall further and further out of sync with real time. At 1/2/03, 2:30PM CST, we have several systems that display the correct time, but also systems that display the current time as 1/2/03 13:17 and 13:35, 1/1/03 13:35, 12/31/02 08:55 and on and on. It doesn't seem to have any relation to how long the systems have been up. For example, we have four systems that were last booted on 11/26/02. One still has the correct time, one is an hour behind, one is 25 hours behind and one is 53 hours, 40 minutes behind. It also doesn't seem to have anything to do with workload. Or lack of workload either, we thought maybe that idling systems that spent most of their time swapped out by VM might be the ones that fell the furthest behind, but some examples of those were were still absolutely current, while the system we work with the most fell an hour behind in less than a week. We just haven't found a common thread as to why some systems are falling behind, nor why some are falling behind faster than others. If anyone has any ideas....
