Hello list,

I know this is old but I discovered the same problem and found this thread =

We run a XenServer 6.5 SP1 pool with all patches up to XS65ESP1033 on Fujit=
su Primergy RX300 S6 servers. My test VM is FreeBSD 10.3 with xe-guest-util=
ities-6.2.0_2 and xen-guest-tools-4.6.1 installed.

After live migration the VM's clock is also several seconds in future.

I use "tinker panic 0" in /etc/ntp.conf as workaround. Then some minutes af=
ter the migration the time is in sync again.

Here is some output from a peerstats log:
