My windows guest (only have two Windows 2000 SP4 servers) the clock is very very very slow ( the windows clock runs one second every 6-7 real seconds).
My host server is a cuad core:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
8Gb Ram
vmware server 1.0.8
Debian Lenny 5.0
Customized kernel: 2.6.28.7.090413 #1 SMP
The real clock runs well, I check my .config file and see that has CONFIG_HZ_250=y
(the server runs very slow after of some time) but the sql server runs well (I think).
The config of my guest windows are:
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "4"
numvcpus = "2"
scsi0.present = "TRUE"
memsize = "1024"
scsi0:0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0:0.fileName = "Windows_2000_Server.vmdk"
ide1:0.present = "FALSE"
ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect"
ide1:0.deviceType = "atapi-cdrom"
floppy0.fileName = "/dev/fd0"
Ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
displayName = "Windows_2000_Srv_PIFA2"
guestOS = "win2000serv"
autostop = "softpoweroff"
priority.grabbed = "normal"
priority.ungrabbed = "normal"
timeTracker.periodicStats="TRUE"
timeTracker.statsIntercal="10"
ide1:0.autodetect = "TRUE"
floppy0.present = "FALSE"
scsi0:0.redo = ""
ide1:0.startConnected = "TRUE"
ethernet0.startConnected = "TRUE"
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
uuid.location = "56 4d fd 0f 9e 67 62 5e-d6 3c 37 1e 48 e3 1b 59"
uuid.bios = "56 4d fd 0f 9e 67 62 5e-d6 3c 37 1e 48 e3 1b 59"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:e3:1b:59"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
tools.syncTime = "TRUE"
parallel0.present = "TRUE"
parallel0.fileName = "/dev/parport0"
parallel0.bidirectional = "FALSE"
This is because I have a netHASP key that runs well
ide0:0.present = "TRUE"
ide0:0.fileName = "/dev/scd0"
ide0:0.deviceType = "atapi-cdrom"
workingDir = "."
ide0:0.startConnected = "FALSE"
autostart = "poweron"
I use in same configuration same kernel and same hardware in a windows XP guest and the clock runs well
I have ACPI configurated in same machines.
I try.
host.cpukHz = 2400075000
host.noTSC = TRUE
ptsc.noTSC = TRUE
Nothink happeds.
My disable acpi to solve this problem, and why in windows xp don’t happends??
Thanks for the answers!!!!
