While creating a new VPS on our Proxmox servers, I would expect to be able to set the RTC Start Date to 'now' as described in the manuals. However, every time I try, both with and without having ticked the 'Use local time for RTC' box, this fails.
When giving an actual date in this field, I CAN start the VPS without errors.
Could anyone tell me if -rtc base=now should have worked (now does not seem a 'valid format' ..?
And if it should have worked, then what could be causing this ?
