Clock skew after pausing guests
Hello all
I am seeing, perhaps unsurprisingly, a skewed system clock after pausing and then resuming a qemu-kvm guest. The guest continues with its earlier time.
Since I'd like to use the pause technique for backups, which can take 1 hour, this is significant.
This is with windows guests, and it doesn't seem to recover by itself just by waiting.
Linux guests instead seem to adjust their clock correctly after the resume.
Is there any way to tell the windows guests to resynchronize its clock with the host?
I am using virsh / libvirt.
Thank you
Have you checked with Windows Time service enabled in the guest?
net start w32time
Best Regards,
Timur
