Hello all,
A few notes w.r.t. section 48.4 of the LVS HOWTO (VMware problems with
NTP/time)
It -IS- possible to keep several hosts in sync time-wise in VMware, even on
a simple laptop.
I am currently running an LVS cluster and 2 webservers on my laptop with
VMWare Server 1.0.7 and 1GB RAM.
There have been no spontaneous cluster failovers (yet) today.
For GSX / VMware Server:
Pass the following options to the kernel via grub.conf:
clock=pit nosmp noapic nolapic
For RHEL5/CentOS5, you should use the following:
clocksource=pit nosmp noapic nolapic
Because this will disable all of Linux' intelligent clock tricks, you'll
need to run NTPd to keep your clock in sync.

For ESX servers, the solution is 'simpler':
You need to lower the minimum time between clok requests:
Configuration --> Software --> Advanced Settings --> Misc -->
Misc.TimerMinHardPeriod
Lower this value (it is in microseconds)
