change time in vm

[idc2014]

hello every one , here i have a big issue

--..

why when i take backup using veeam 7 from my " VIRTUAL MACHINE" WITH LINUX OS " the time in linux is changed

i donot know why ????

Check the current time on your ESXi host. Most likely it is not synchronized, which makes your VM change its time during snapshot operation. Thanks!

[idc2014]

ok thank u , i will check it now

[idc2014]

after sync time vm linux redhat with host wsxi 5 it is not responding ???!!!1

[Vitaliy S.]

So you did have wrong time configured on the ESXi host or you just reconfigured time settings on the VM?

[idc2014]

i have right time configured on ESXI host BUT when i sync time with vm linux redhat the timeon the vm is increase on hour which is not compatible with the host

[idc2014]

note :-

my vm linux is ( 2.6-194.el5 64 bit)

[Vitaliy S.]

Do you have the latest version of VMware Tools installed in this VM? Can you confirm that the time changes every time you create a snapshot (can do that manually via vSphere Client)?

[idc2014]

yes i have the lastet version of the vm tools on my vm

[Vitaliy S.]

What about the second question? If it is reproduce-able when you're taking a Vm snapshot, then I would suggest looking into VMware VM logs for more details on the issue.

Also, check the time zone of both the hypervisor and the VM, a 1-hour skew on updates is suspicious of time zone problems...

[idc2014]

time zone in hypervisor is IN UTC , while in vm timezone is EEST , this is only vm that i have a problem in it

[idc2014]

my problem is why when i take backup of this vm that have "linux redahat 2.6 el 5" the time is drift one hour !!

note :- the Vm is NOT sync time guest with the host

Yes, we see that and I have asked you to make a test case to confirm that it is snapshot-creation/commit issue. Did you have a chance to reproduce that?

[idc2014]

no i have not chance to do that

[Vitaliy S.]

If you search these forums, you will see that there are existing topics with a similar issue which is reproduceable via snapshot creation/commit operations. Looking into VMware VM logs of this machine should also give you some hints on this.
