Hi All,
I am using Windows 2012 R2 with hyper-V configured.In this environment i created the SLES 11 SP3 VM.
Now my Host is windows 2012 R2 and my guest is SLES 11 SP3.
I have a application on running on my guest(SLES 11 SP3),there we have date/time settings feature enabled. User can chose either NTP timesync or host machine timesync.
I guess in SLES 11 sp3 by default your guest is sync with your host time.
Suppose use selected as NTP time sync,how i can disable the host time sync in my guest system(SLES 11 sp3) through some shell/linux commands.
What i know is that, i can disable the host and guest time from the hyper-v settings–>integration services–>deselect time synchronization.
I am looking the solution from the linux guest machine(i mean through some linux commands)
Hi
You can enable the ntp service via YaST and add the remote ntp servers
your wanting to sync to, then enable the service etc.
If you then wanted to disable, you can either use YaST runlevel, or via
the command line;
chkconfig ntp off
rcntp stop
To enable and start
chkconfig ntp on
rcntp start

Hi Malcolm,
Thank you for the quick response. i guess this is for ntp enable and disable right?. Suppose if ntp is enable in my guest VM(linux VM),it is always sync with npt irrespective of your host time sync is enable or not?
I want a solution like if ntp is enable,my guest VM time sync should be disable.If i disable ntp,it should enable to host time sync.
Hi
I have no idead how the timesync to the Win server works, is there a
client running on the host?
If so, should be a matter of a simple script(s) to run and check which
one is running and the flip things over.

No client running.Just one more quick question suppose if i have ntp enabled in my guest(linux VM),that means linux VM always looks ntp system for timesync between ntp server and linux VM right?
Hi
Yes, it will run and sync with the ntp server(s) defined via udp port
123.
Once you have it running as per your requirement, have a read of the
CVE and link and add to ntpd.conf
#With respect to CVE-2013-5211 and

Time sync in VMs can be problematic. This TID contains some good
background information:
