Synchronizing the Time Between the Guest and Service Consoles

Synchronizing the Time Between the Guest and Service Consoles

The guest service can synchronize the date and time in the guest operating system with the time in the service console once every second. In the VMware Tools control panel, on the Other tab (Options in a Linux guest), select Time synchronization between the virtual machine and the host operating system.

In addition, the guest service can synchronize the date and time in the guest with the service console in response to various system events — for example, when you resume from disk. You can disable this in the configuration file by setting

time.synchronize.resume.disk = FALSE
