RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.

    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.
