Re: [qmailtoaster] QMT on VMWare ESXi
Dear Michael, Have u install vmware-tools in the centos qmt guest ??? And in ur ESXi server have u setup ntp server??? if both are set then ur maching should sync time with ur ESXi host time. I am using more than 10 ESX and ESXi server in my environment with amost every OS guest machines and all are having correct time. Most importantly ur ESX host must have a working NTP server configured to keep host and guest to correct time. If u can check and tell more bout ur ESX and guest configs will help in sorting out the problem. Sometimes ISO images are configured with some scripts which are croned and run regularly to set time automatically. please check if ur guest has any such script installed. Secondly make sure that you have rights to change settings on ur guest os. try # ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/urzone(e.g. US)/Cental /etc/localtime Regards, Anil Aliyan - Original Message - From: "Michael Colvin" To: Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 10:08 PM Subject: [qmailtoaster] QMT on VMWare ESXi Is anyone running the QMT iso on a VMWare VM?

RE: [qmailtoaster] QMT on VMWare ESXi
Although I am not running QMT on a ESX host, I have had several other ESX CentOS VMs that suffer from clock tick problems. I highly recommend installing the VMware tools. Installing those tools have resolved the problem every time for me. # mkdir /mnt/cdrom Open the VMware Infrastruce Client, right-click your VM, and select "Install/Upgrade VMware Tools". # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-3.5.0-64607.i386.rpm (or whatever version you have) REBOOT Whenever you replace/update your kernel, you'll have to do the following: # /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl # /etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop # rmmod pcnet32 # rmmod vmxnet # depmod -a # modprob vmxnet # /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start There is a wonderful white paper about VMware time keeping at: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf Sincerely, -- Joseph Lundgren Systems Engineer Peak Internet, LLC joseph.lundg...@peakinternet.com -Original Message- From: Michael Colvin [mailto:mcol...@norcalisp.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 9:38 AM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] QMT on VMWare ESXi Is anyone running the QMT iso on a VMWare VM?

This is the only time I've ever had an issue with the system/hardware clock drifting dramatically in a VM. There are also other VM's on this physical server that keep sync fine... For a few years I've been running a few in VMware Server on top of Centos 5. I'm currently running them in VMware Server 2 on CentOS 5.2 64-bit. I saw timekeeping issues initially and did some research. I found a VMware whitepaper: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf. I've attached my notes from studying that whitepaper. Basically you need to not use NTP or other native timekeeping tools in the guest OS, rather install VMware tools and set them to sync the guest with the host. Brent Gardner Time issues in VMWare guests Refer to http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf Guest machines may have issues keeping correct time. Guidelines: - Do not overload the host machine. If it is too busy, guest machines will not get enough host CPU time to keep themselves up to date. - Make sure CPU throttling and/or power management is disabled in BIOS or turned off in the OS on the host. Guest timekeeping depends a lot on the host CPU. - Do not run non-VMWare timekeeping tools on guest machines: - no NTP on Unix-like guests. - disable Windows Time service on Windows guests. - Install VMWare Tools and configure for time sync. VMWare tools are meant to be configured with a GUI tool in the guest OS. For guests that do not support a GUI environment, the relevant setting can be set in the guest's vmx file: tools.syncTime = "TRUE" - Properly configure non-VMWare timekeeping tools such NTP or Windows Time service on the host machine. Linux guests with 2.6 kernels should have the following kernel option set: clock=pit - or - clocksource=pit Here's an example /etc/grub.conf from a CentOS 5 guest machine: default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 clocksource=pit initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.img title CentOS (2.6.18-8.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5.img - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Check whether the BIOS is using a "speed-step" or CPU power saving feature. If it is, disable it. This is one cause of time drift in VMWare. I have had problems, though, with CENTOS-based virtuals (in both VMWare Server (mostly) and in VMWare ESXi Server) where the time drifts (by as much as 45% per second!).

I won't be able to get to my FC11 test host for a couple weeks. Looks like the stock fuse for FC11 is v2.7.4, and I used v2.8 in my testing (wanted to use the lastest I could). Petrus, it looks like there's a problem removing fuse-2.7.4. The preun scriplet (part of the stock spec file) apparently is having a problem. Can you try doing # rpm --noscripts -e fuse ? That should remove the older package and bypass the preun script. If you continue to have a problem with this, you might try google and see if others are having a problem upgrading from 2.7.4 to 2.8. Once you get past that, I'm betting it will work. -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

I've been using Mantis for about 5 years. It's perfect for techies, not great for marketing and corporate types. However, it's proven itself a profitable tool for us. http://www.mantisbt.org/ On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 5:25 AM, Jake Vickers wrote: > With things as busy as they are these days with everyone, I've come to the > conclusion that we need a bug-tracking system for Qmailtoaster where users > can submit bugs, and I/others can see them and respond/fix the issue.
