We recently had a similar discussion in the Bhyve community.
The consensus was that it is not desirable to use both time sync mechanisms in parallel: guest-tools and chronyd (or ntpd)
Now it would be good to know if oVirt-guest-agent is attempting to sync the VM's clock with the host clock.
If so, it may be worth trying to disable chronyd/ntpd and see if the time sync by the guest-agent does a better job.
In any case, the host's clock should be properly synchronized with the real world time.
Kind regards

Are you sure that the problem is not in the HostedEngine ?
Sync your host and then verify the situation on the HE

Hello,
Engine complains about my fresh el8 ovirt 4.4.3 node host:
"Host hadriacus has time-drift of 3202 seconds while maximum configured value is 300 seconds."
I tried to fix it with these commands:
sudo chronyc -a makestep chronyc sources chronyc tracking
... but the host is still not synchronized.
How should I proceed?
I think this message indicates a time difference between the host and the engine machine, unrelated to any VM. Perhaps check the clock on the engine machine and the host: 1. If indeed they are different, somehow fix them - that's unrelated to oVirt - configure both to use same (local/nearby) ntp server, sync, etc. 2. If they are close/similar, perhaps it's a bug in the engine. You can try to restart it and see if this helps. If it indeed looks like a bug, perhaps open one in bugzilla. Good luck and best regards, -- Didi
