What kind of VM is this?

If a KVM guest, use the vm clock and pass it the host's time at startup:

# set a variable with the host time
BASETIME=$(date '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')

use the '-rtc' option and pass qemu-system-x86_64 clock and base settings:
-rtc clock=vm,base=$BASETIME

I do not have any trouble with my KVM guests keeping time using these
settings (KVM on OmniOS).
