[Xen-users] Problems w/ spoofing VM clock, independent_clock

["Kevin Cheng" <plutonium83@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to accelerate the system clock on a VM guest. I'm setting
the independent_clock flag to 1, then using the "date" command to
change the system clock. However, whenever I do this, the VM guest
becomes unresponsive. When I syncronize the VM clock to the host clock,
everything goes back to normal.

Two questions:

1) Why is the VM guest freezing when the host time does not agree with the guest time?
2) How does the guest determine its own (independent) software and hardware clock?
2) Is there an alternative to running "date" command to change / accelerate the system clock?

I'm using the Xen 3.0 Demo CD on a P4 2.7GHz, 2GB RAM.

Thanks,

Kevin Cheng
