Previously, the time zone for a Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machine could be set in the Initial Run tab of the New or Edit Virtual Machine window. Now, the default time zone which is Etc/GMT is used, and it cannot be changed via the administration portal. After an upgrade, the time zones of all Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines are reset to Etc/GMT. If you are using a Linux virtual machine with a non-default time zone, adjust its hardware clock to your desired time zone.

Proposing the following. For Linux VMs only. - Disable timezone in VM properties - set to GMT with no edit option (in GUI or API) - Discard TZ offset - Always start VM with host (UTC) time. For Windows we need another solution for 3.3 we need a rel note for people who explicitly unchecked "HW clock in UTC" during Linux installations For Windows I'd see something like: change the place in GUI where TZ is change the meaning to true TZ setting which can be changed anytime (when VM down) add TZ reporting to guest agent from guest OS display current TZ in VM subtab Supposing mapping it back from guest to RHEV-M setting may be tricky, perhaps alert when the time offset differs? should go into a follow up bug verified. Couldn't reproduce Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-1048.html |
