Operating Systems SCO Strange behaviour on Openserver 5.0.2 after 09/2015 Post 302955369 by Zenor on Wednesday 16th of September 2015 06:42:41 PM

Well, its mostly just an improvement on the already stated workaround of booting the system with a date prior to 09/2015 then resetting it to the current date after logon. It is currently dependent on having the system running inside a vm at the moment.

First we set the vm software to always boot the guest with a date prior to 09/2015, this means the system should boot properly regardless of what the system date set as when it shutdown.

Next we just need a way to sync the guest's clock with the host's clock once it has finished booting. My planned method is to have the host run a script whenever the guest is started that simply logs into the guest, fixes the date, then logs back out.

Whether automating it on bare-metal system is possible remains to be seen.

As for upgrading to 5.0.6, I will attempt to do so with a clone of my system as soon as I get a copy of the installation media.

hv_utils

HYPER-V(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						HYPER-V(4)

NAME

     hv_utils -- Hyper-V Utilities Driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in the system kernel configuration file:

	   device hyperv

DESCRIPTION

     The hv_utils driver provides time keeping, shutdown and heartbeat functionality for FreeBSD guest partitions running on Hyper-V.  Hyper-V is
     a hypervisor-based virtualization technology from Microsoft.  The hv_utils driver is one of the core drivers required to be present in guest
     partitions running on Hyper-V.  This driver provides the following functionalities to guest partitions:

     (a) Time Keeping: The clock inside the guest partition will remain accurate by synchronizing to the clock on the virtualization server via
     Timesync service, and with the help of the pluggable time source device.

     (b) Integrated shutdown: Guest partitions running FreeBSD can be shut down from Hyper-V Manager console by using the "Shut down" command.

     (c) Heartbeat: This feature allows the virtualization server to detect whether the guest partition is running and responsive.

SEE ALSO

     hv_ata_pci_disengage(4), hv_netvsc(4), hv_storvsc(4), hv_vmbus(4)

HISTORY

     Support for hv_utils first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.  The driver was developed through a joint effort between Citrix Incorporated, Microsoft
     Corporation, and Network Appliance Incorporated.

AUTHORS

     FreeBSD support for hv_utils was first added by Microsoft BSD Integration Services Team <bsdic@microsoft.com>.
