VMmark3 run - timesync issue

[Pratsz]

Hello, I am facing issue with VMmark3 run -

It errors out while checking time sync

I have verified and made sure that all Client, workload VMs and vCenter is in PST time zone

vCenter Time –

Client0 Time –

ESXi Host on which the client0 is hosted is in UTC which cannot be changed –

Can someone please assist on this issue. I am following VMmark user guide.

My expectation is that it is because of multiple time zones being used.  As per the user's guide "The vCenterServer, the workload virtual machines (described later), and the clients (described later) must all be set to the same time zone."  Can you try putting everything in UTC if that is a hard requirement?

Thanks for your response.

I moved all to UTC - workload VMs, Client VMs, Prime client and all ESXI hosts but it gave the same error message.

I re-provisioned the Workload and Client VM in UTC through VMmark3 properties file to fix this issue.
