Virtual machines are not time synchronized with the ESX Server or an authoritative time server.
Description
Discussion Text
The accuracy of time within the virtualization environment is difficult due to the timer interrupt issue. Time drifts may be as dramatic as 5-10 minutes. Inaccurate time causes other inaccuracies within the virtualization environment, which may include event logs, domain synchronization, session timeouts, etc. Virtual machine time synchronization may be achieved through an external time source or through the ESX Server operating system.
