There's a timeout parameter used by NTP that if things get out of sync by too much, it won't sync them at all.

The default is something low, I think just 128 msec, which is pretty small under some circumstances.

edit the /etc/sysconfig/ntpd on the control VM to sync hardware. Default is no. Once done, please cycle ntpd. You will see an extra line for hardware clock. If possible, all VMs and XenServer should use a local physical time server.

One table per class Easy to understand because of the one-to-one mapping.  Supports polymorphism very well as you merely have records in the appropriate tables for each type.  Very easy to modify superclasses and add new subclasses as you merely need to modify/add one table. Data size grows in direct proportion to growth in the number of objects.   There are many tables in the database, one for every class (plus tables to maintain relationships).  Potentially takes longer to read and write data using this technique because you need to access multiple tables.  This problem can be alleviated if you organize your database intelligently by putting each table within a class hierarchy on different physical disk-drive platters (this assumes that the disk-drive heads all operate independently).  Ad-hoc reporting on your database is difficult, unless you add views to simulate the desired tables. When there is significant overlap between types or when changing types is common.

Create a VM from the Other install media template

Attach the Ubuntu 10.04 ISO to the DVD drive of the VM

Start the VM

apt-get install <package>

If the package’s already installed, the latest version will be installed on top of it.

use kill -3 to get a thread dump
