Unable to synchronize time

[spikfrank]

I have an OpenSuSE 11.1 web server. For some reason the time will not stay with what I set it to.

I go into Personal Settings and adjust the date/time and no matter what it keeps defaulting back to december of 2007.

This is a virtual machine sitting on VMware ESXi 3.5. I noticed that the time in the BIOS was also off by the same date. I adjusted it there and still the time is incorrect within the OS.

As soon as I boot into the OS, it displays december of 2007. I check the BIOS again and it reverts back.

Any ideas?

Hi Spikfrank,

Check that the host is on time. You should also verify that time synchronization through VMware tools is disabled and use an external NTP source for both host and guest.

Good luck.

What kind of a host system are we talking about? A server system or a desktop system? Maybe you need to replace the battery on the mainboard.
