Hi Bob,
Motherboard Intel DQ965GFEKR
Procesor Intel Core2Duo E4400 2GHz
Host OS: Ubuntu Feisty 7.04
VMware Server 1.03 installed from canonical comercial repository
Guest OSs:
Ubuntu 6.06LTS server
Centos 4.5 (installed from latest QmailToaster Plus ISO)
I have tried all found in VMware forums, Google, etc
The only thing I cant find is something in the bios to disable SpeedStep
as said in
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=708,
nor POWER MODE settings.
*On Linux hosts:* Set the appropriate options in the computer's
BIOS. The details vary from one computer to another. The process
is similar to that described in the following steps for SpeedStep:
1. Shut down and reboot your host computer.
2. While your host is rebooting, press the appropriate key to
enter its BIOS setup screen.
3. Navigate to the SpeedStep settings.
4. Under *Intel SpeedStep Technology*, select *Enabled*.
5. Under *Power Mode for AC*, select *Maximum Performance*.
6. Under *Power Mode for Battery*, select *Maximum Performance*.
7. Save the BIOS settings and exit.

What hardware are you running on the host? Intel? AMD?
Take a look at
http://www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=475075 for a
decent discussion of timekeeping in vmware. I remember coming across
articles saying it's much less effective to run ntpd and ntpdate in
vmware guests -- the skew can still be hours until the next update.
That prompted us to switch from vmware to xen on one of our virtual
hosts...
Do you have vmware-tools installed? Have you tried 'clock=pmtmr' or
'clock=pit' at boot?
Does your vmx file specify tools.syncTime = "TRUE"?

is ntp deamon installed with the iso dist by default?
if so, how can i tell the deamon to doit every minute?
thanks, I´m really desperate with the vmware server clock issue.

well if you are concerned about time and want to update it every
minute why not just run the ntp daemon? thats how i have mine setup.

you are right. * * * * * is every minute. In fact, if I change the
command to "echo x >> /txt" it writes a new line every minute at /txt,
but the "/usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov > /dev/null 2>&1 " dose not work.

Just curious why is it set to never run?
* * * * * would normally be every minute..

Hi all,
My qmail is the latest qmailtoaster plus ISO.
I need to run the following cron as root
* * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov > /dev/null 2>&1
"/usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov" is executed perfectly at the
console, but as a cronjob using crontab it doesn´t work.
It's set to never run. It needs to be something like:
35 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov
What I do on my machines is create a script:
#!/usr/sh
# updatetime script
/usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov
And drop it into my /etc/cron.hourly folder and make it executbale
(chmod +x /etc/cron.hourly/updatetime).
You shouldn't need to update the time more than once an hour. If it's
getting more than a couple thousandths of a second off in an hour you
either have a motherboard issue or one that has a REALLY cheap clock.
