Re: Time not syncing after VMotion

[Patrick H. <ope...@st...>]

 Unfortunately it does not. All this document does is instruct in usage
of ntpd. Ntpd takes too long to adjust the clock. It takes to long to
even detect that the clock is out of sync and needs to be fixed.
This functionality is supposed to be part of the vmware tools for
exactly this issue. For example, see this document:
https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1189

> Time is resynchronized when you migrate the virtual machine using
vMotion, take a snapshot, restore to a snapshot, shrink the virtual
disk, or restart the VMware Tools service in the virtual machine
(including rebooting the virtual machine).
