I know, NxTop Engine is based on Xen with Ubuntu Linux.
If Xen hypervisor (and Linux) was set as UTC time, then clock skew problem - 9 hours faster - is known in Windows virtual machine.
To resolve this problem, windows vm need to be sync with internet time. However, at boot up time, clock skew occurs. Another resolution of this problem is that during installation of Linux (include Xen Hypervisor), unuse of UTC time.
Is there any way to uncheck the UTC time in installaing in NxTop engine? I remember that there is no check process.
Regards,
You do not need to set time on the NxTop Engine. Once the NxTop Engine is registered to NxTop Center, it will receive local time from the Center and Windows time will be adjusted automatically.
In the forth coming release where NxTop Center will not be required and you will be able to run NxTop Engine in a stand alone mode, you will be able to set your local time and time zone.
In addition to what peter_m said, the physical RTC clock is run by Xen using UTC but the virtual RTC provided to the Windows guests is run using guest localtime based on the timezone set in the guest.
