Fixed In Version:	vdsm-4.9.6-31.0	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Previously, the bootstrap script (vds-bootstrap) retrieved the engine time as a parameter, but did not set the clock until after installing packages. Since the package installation process took a few minues, the clock was a few minutes behind. VDSM has been updated so that the clock is set when the engine time is retrieved, and now the clock is accurate.	Story Points:	---

    BZ#849542 bootstrap: acquire time for host immediately before send
    
    Engine uses its own clock to send current time to host during bootstrap.
    
    This change moves the point in which clock is sampled immediately
    before bootstrap command is sent, as result we have smaller clock delta.

    BZ#849542 bootstrap: set system time as soon as possible
    
    CURRENT BEHAVIOR
    
    Set system time after installation.
    
    NEW BEHAVIOR
    
    Set system time at first stage. This makes the time difference between
    engine and host set to minimum.

Comment 7 Gadi Ickowicz 2012-09-03 14:53:16 UTC

Verified on SI16. Set time now runs near the beginning of the bootstrap process, and time difference between hosts and engine is a few seconds.

vdsm-4.9.6-31.0.el6_3.x86_64
rhevm-3.1.0-14.el6ev.noarch
