update to latest, you can also try the packages from pvetest (including KVM 1.1 stable).

and remove these two lines:

args: -rtc-td-hack
args: -no-kvm-pit-reinjection

 

[spirit]

-rtc-td-hack and -no-kvm-pit-reinjection

are the default is you choose win2008 as ostype.

I've update the server with below commands, are these enough or I should restart the server or stop and start the VM?

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
 aptitude full-upgrade

 

[spirit]

yes, you need to stop/start vm to have params take effect

 

[tincboy]

How can I update to latest KVM 1.1 in test repo?

 

[spirit]

"apt-get dist-upgrade" should upgrade pve-qemu-kvm package

 

[tincboy]

I've upgrade the proxmox, but the qemu version didnt change

Is this enough?

 

[spirit]

this is strange, it should be

pve-qemu-kvm: 1.1-4

[tom]

if you want pvetest, you need to change sources.list.

see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_repositories

 

[tincboy]

I dont want to use unstable packages on my production server but I need to solve the time drift back issue,
I this issue gone by

pve-qemu-kvm: 1.0-9 ?​

 

[tom]

Just follow the suggestions - pvetest is not needed to resolved this issue.

 

[spirit]

remove your args: , and choose win2008 as ostype, it should work without any timedrift
