KB2007.418 FAQ: How do I configure Domain Time II on a VMware system? This article applies to Domain Time II.
Published: 18 Apr 2007
Question
Answer
You can install Domain Time II normally on guest OS virtual machines just as if those machines were running on actual stand-alone physical machines. However, due to the additional inaccuracies of the guest clocks in a virtual environment, you may find that Domain Time is having to spend most of its time correcting the clocks, to the point where you may not be able to acheive your desired clock accuracy. For this reason, it is usually better practice to configure the guest operating systems to synchronize their clocks to the VMware host's clock using the VMware Tools "Time synchronization between the virtual machine and the host operating system" System Console function. Domain Time II Server or Client can still be installed on the guest to provide auditing and/or time server functionality, but the actual synchronization of the internal clock will be done using VMware Tools. Important: If you are using the VMware Tools sync to host function, the time-setting function of any other time-synchronization software (such as Windows Time and Domain Time II) MUST be disabled to prevent contention over the system clock. Note: We neither support nor warrant using Domain Time Server inside a guest OS. The virtual machine environment is not stable enough for time-serving purposes.
Recommended configuration if you have the VMware Tools 'sync to host' function enabled:
