RE: VMWare clock out of synch

I believe there is an option in VMWare Workstation 5 to keep the clock of the virtual machine synced with the host. If you can't find the option, you could use an ntp server on each virtual machine to sync the time with one of the pool.ntp.org time servers.

Subject: VMWare clock out of synch

Hi

I just installed Oracle Clusterware using VMWare Workstation 5.5. I noticed the two virtual machines clocks get out of synch. The voting disk and OCR files which are located in a shared storage have different timestamp.

root oinstall 2277376 Mar 8 15:46 OCRFile

root oinstall 2277376 Mar 8 15:47 OCRFile

They seem to be corrupt.

./ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :

         Version                  :          2 
         Total space (kbytes)     :     262144
         Used space (kbytes)      :       1992
         Available space (kbytes) :     260152

                                    Device/File needs to be synchronized with the other device
         Device/File Name         : /u02/oradata/rac/OCRFile_MIRROR
                                    Device/File integrity check failed 
n
         Cluster registry integrity check failed

Has anyone experienced same problem using vmware? Not sure how to get the OCR files synched again?

TIA LSC
