Time and Date for OpenVZ VPS

On the Hardware node the following command are to be executed.

Please note that this can be done only if you have access to the hardware node.

# yum install ntp

# chkconfig ntpd on

# ntpdate pool.ntp.org

# /etc/init.d/ntpd start

In order to change the time zone for a server, please issue the following command:

vzctl set 101 –capability sys_time:on –save, where <101> is the CT_ID of the VPS where we want to perform this task.

To see the CT_ID of a container, issus: vzlist -a command.

Hope this helps
