Hello,
We have ESX 3.5 in our environment with 3 ESX host. VM's running on them will get a time stamp from time server upon OS initialization.
While we reboot the server, we can see a time fluctuation of 20 mins from the eventlog during the bootup process. like below
We have the same issue in all VM's running on a particular ESX host. When we checked the ESX host clock, Hwclock and date - they are almost showing same time.On VC server, NTP is configured for all three ESX host.
04:31:05
04:31:02 This is where OS gets time stamp from NTP server
.

.
.
04:12:51 This where Eventlog start/stop recorded.
04:30:23
04:30:18
04:29:56
As there is a flucation for 20 mins, the application fails to start during that period due to time sync with database.
How to fix this problem.
