Disabling the feature to synchronize time in Workstation 6.5

I have a question regarding the management of the clock on linux hosts.  A lack of host systems Debian Etch/Lenny with workstation 6.5.  The guests are a system lenny with vmware tools installed.  We have several data streams continuously that we have databases, and we have to be able to go back and recreate the ingestion of the stream for training purposes.  The goal is to save the data of a day (for example 20 April 2008), start the virtual machine and have the date VM comments be on April 20, 2008, while the guest clock is always the current date.

Yesterday, I pulled up a virtual machine so that the vmware tools application has been configured to not synchronize time and rolled back the clock on the virtual machine.  When I arrived at work this morning, the clocks have been sync'd up again.  So I would like to know how to disable the synchronization of the clock.

I had this running a couple of years ago with Workstation 5.x, but I don't remember having to do something special with the configuration of time synchronization...

rbraun204,

There are several events that will always trigger synchronization time in a virtual machine (suspend, power on/off and much more).

RE 1189 KB (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1189/)

If you want to completely disable the time synchronization in the comments, open the configuration of the virtual machine (.vmx) file in a text editor and set the following options to zero:

tools.syncTime = '0 '.

Time.Synchronize.continue = '0 '.

Time.Synchronize.Restore = '0 '.

Time.Synchronize.Resume.Disk = '0 '.

Time.Synchronize.Shrink = '0 '.

Time.Synchronize.Tools.Startup = '0 '.

Notes:

  • For some products (such as VMware Workstation), you may need to use 'FALSE' instead of '0 '.  For example:

tools.syncTime = "FALSE".

  • In some cases, the virtual machine may need to be restarted.

Kind regards

  • How to disable the feature CALL SOS?

    I've just updated to iOS 10 and 3 watch OS, but I can't find how to disable the feature of emergency SOS on my Apple Watch.

    I thought it would be a good feature for me so I turned it on, but my fingers are clumsy, so I struck the wrong cursor when I turned off my watch and accidentally, I called 911. I've disabled "Stick to Auto Call" and deleted all my contacts SOS in general in the application to watch on my iPhone and I restarted the iPhone and the Apple Watch, but emergency SOS still shows on my watch when I want to turn off my watch.

    I think that before I turned emergency SOS, I saw "Power Reserve" under the "Power Off". I read that once you turn Hold for Auto call in the app shows and then turn off, the cursor of SOS emergency will always be displayed when you turn off the watch.

    How can I disable the cursor of emergency SOS when I turn off my Apple Watch? Can I use Reset under general, or désapparier my watch and pair again? I don't want to do that, because it would take a lot of time to get all my settings that I want them to be.

    Hello

    I'm not aware of any option settings to remove the emergency SOS cursor in the menu that appears on pressing them and holding the button.

    If you want Apple to consider adding an option to disable the feature, you can submit a request here:

  • CPU mask to disable the feature "xTPR' CPU?

    Hello

    vMotion between my two hosts does not work, error message reads 'General incompatibilities' and 'incompatibility at level 0 x 1 register 'ecx' ' with

    Bits hosts: 0000 0010 1001 1000 0010 0010 0000 0011

    Required: x 001 011 x 10 x 1 1xx0 xx10 xx1x xx0x xx11

    My laboratory equipment is from the same manufacturer but different generations of hw. I have only an Essentials Plus license, so I can't use CVS. Now, I try to limit the CPUfeatures exposed on the most recent host to allow of vMotion. I ' v read up on this topic and follow the instructions in the KB documents.

    That's what I came up with after the start of the CPUID.iso:

    host1, older Xeon E5620 "Westmere-EP".

    host2, Xeon E5-2650 new "Sandy Bridge-EP".

    host1 ID1ECX: 0 x 82982203 = > 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 0100 1000 0011

    host2 ID1ECX: 0 x 96982203 = > 0000 0000 0000 0000 0 10 0100 1000 00111

    So I understand that I would need to use a CPUmask "- 0 -" to disable the feature represented by bit 14 ("xTPR' - support to disable task priority messages) as you can see from the attached screenshot. But who hasn't toured. The same compatibility error message came when I tried to vMotion, virtual machine host2 to host1 with this CPUmask.

    A I mix? I'm still a little confused that the vCenter error message contains a bitmask of totally different than suggest the docs KB...

    Or did I break something else? Because the classic viclient loses communication to the ESXi host or completely blocks when I try to remove the CPUmask using the user interface! Had to modify the vmx with vi in a ssh session to remove the CPUmask manually...

    Any help greatly appreciated...
