[Users] Host installation failed with error "Unable to set host time"

Thu Aug 2 13:55:10 UTC 2012

Daniel,

It seems clear to me that for some reason Fedora 16 can't access the RTC (real time clock - hardware clock) on your computer's motherboard. Odd that RHEL 6.2 can but I forget what it is based on. Anyway can you try a Fedora 17 live cd and see if the "hwclock --show" command works? If it doesn't, I am thinking that you will want to file a bugzilla. If it does work, then vdsm and ovirt-node-2.5.0 will work for you on Fedora 17.

Hi, Nicholas,
      I like to give you an update. I found that hwclock worked perfectly fine on RHEL 6.2 system. I am still
puzzling why it failed in Fedora 16.  I am thinking of installing oVirt 3.0 on RHEL 6.2 to see how it turns out. 
      If you find anything, please let me know. 
      Thanks a lot. 

Daniel

Here are the putput:

#date

# hwclock --show

hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.

hwclock: Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method.

# hwclock --debug

hwclock from util-linux 2.20.1

hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed: Device or resource busy

No usable clock interface found.

hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.

I am wondering if this is a bug in Fedora 16 or maybe I am missing the driver or related rpm.

Let me know if you find anything. Thank you for your help.

I created a new host and the installation failed with the following messages on the engine.log:

<BSTRAP component='SetSSHAccess' status='OK' message='SUCCESS'/>

<BSTRAP component='SET_SYSTEM_TIME' status='FAIL' message='Unable to set host time.'/>

<BSTRAP component='RHEV_INSTALL' status='FAIL'/>

. Error occured. (Stage: Running first installation script on Host)

Here are the vdsm related rpms in my Fedora 16 system.

vdsm-4.9.3.3-0.fc16.x86_64

vdsm-bootstrap-4.9.3.3-0.fc16.noarch

vdsm-cli-4.9.3.3-0.fc16.noarch

Does anyone encounter the same problem?  Any hints? 

Thank you.

I'll take a stab at it.

Can you post the output of these two commands? Exclude the # 

#date

#hwclock --show
