Hi All
I have a strange issue about the clock of some FreeBSD Bhyve guests,
maybe someone of you can help me to diagnose it and work on a
solution.
In detail, sometimes (without an apparent regularity) one of four
bhyve guest's clock goes exactly 7 minutes and 10 seconds in the
future.
This clock stays unaligned for about 20 minutes, then, without any
human intervention, the clock realign to proper condition.
My configuration is:
envrm02 (bhyve HOST, 10.2-RELEASE-p14)
-> og-qa (bhyve guest - 10.2-RELEASE-p14)
-> og-ci (bhyve guest - 10.2-RELEASE-p14)
-> og-test (bhyve guest - 10.2-RELEASE-p14)
-> og-prod-rm (bhyve guest - 10.2-RELEASE-p14)
All the og-* machines just have a running copy of tomcat.
I built a simple test to catch the error with python/fabric... the test is:
fab -R ENV,OG,OG-PROD -- date | awk -F ': ' '/2016/{print $2, $1}'
which simply run the command "date" on all hosts.
So, the result is:
@Mac-mini ~/p/f/> ./check_clock.sh

@Mac-mini ~/p/f/> fab -R ENV,OG,OG-PROD -- cat /etc/ntp.conf | grep -v 'out: #'

Some observation:
* The clock of envrm02 (the HOST) always seems to be correct.
* The issue happens on a (apparently) random guest (not always the same one).
* The issue happens always on one host at a time.
The bhyve command line is, roughly, this one:
/usr/sbin/bhyveload -m 2048 -d /san_storage/VMfs/$machine/$machine.img $machine
/usr/sbin/bhyve -c 2 -m 2048 -A -H -P -s 0,hostbridge -s
2,ahci-hd,/san_storage/VMfs/$machine/$machine.img -s 4,virtio-net,$tap
-s 31,lpc -l com1,stdio $machine
Thanks in advance.
