 +===== Fixing time-management in vm-instances on VMware =====
  
 +Install the VMware tools in the guest os, then in the .vmx-file set the following parameters to TRUE:
 +
 +    * **tools.syncTime** - sync periodically
 +    * **time.synchronize.continue** - sync after snapshot
 +    * **time.synchronize.restore** - sync after reverting to a snapshot
 +    * **time.synchronize.resume.disk** - sync after resume
 +    * **time.synchronize.shrink** - sync after defragmenting a virtual disk 
 +
 +<note important>Do **NOT** run any other timekeepers in the guest operating system! (like the **W32Time** service on windows and the **NTP** daemon on UNIX systems). Read [[http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf|this pdf]] (written by VMware) for more details and background information.</note>
