RTC synchronization (11-minute mode) doesn't work on KVM

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The kernel does not synchronize the RTC to the system clock. It should set the RTC about every 11 minutes.
  • Chrony continues to synchronize time correctly, however, RTC does not get in sync even after 11 minutes as expected.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
  • KVM virtual machines
