Bug 974982

trivial. And better be backported to 3.2.z

merged to master:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-engine.git;a=commit;h=45fac42e8ea56f74a256e5a1f8507a2405850e24

Ok, is3, included in /etc/ovirt-engine/engine-config/engine-config.properties

Hello team ,

I do not find the UI consistently showing the right value . 
(For rhevm-3.2.3-0.43.el6ev.noarch )
For example:
#  rhevm-config -s DefaultWindowsTimeZone="Israel Standard Time"
#  rhevm-config -s DefaultGeneralTimeZone="Israel Standard Time"
# engine-service restart
I notice in New VM window , for Unassigned vms 'default:null' &
for windows vm , it show the right tz 'default: (GMT+02:00)......'

Although in many other scenarios , both Unassigned as well as windows
VMs do not show the right timezone .

For example :
rhevm-config -s DefaultWindowsTimeZone="Central European Time"
# rhevm-config -s DefaultGeneralTimeZone="Central European Time"
# psql -U engine -c " SELECT * from vdc_options where option_name like 'Default%TimeZone';"
Password for user engine: 
 option_id |      option_name       |     option_value      | version 
-----------+------------------------+-----------------------+---------
        44 | DefaultWindowsTimeZone | Central European Time | general
        45 | DefaultGeneralTimeZone | Central European Time | general

In this case both VMs windows & non-windows VMs gives 'default:null' in new
VM option .



So my query is , Is this bugzilla for the same issue ? or
should I open a new bugzilla ?

Thanks,
Regards,
Jaison R

Hi Jaison,

in rhevm-config we store timezones separately for windows and non-windows systems because windows uses different format than the standardized rest of the world :-)
In your case you should do
# rhevm-config -s DefaultWindowsTimeZone="Israel Standard Time"
# rhevm-config -s DefaultGeneralTimeZone="Asia/Jerusalem"

What we are missing right now is the validation of entered timezones; that is why you see default: null - an incorrect timezone was set via rhevm-config. You should not be even able to set "Israel Standard Time" to DefaultGeneralTimeZone. Please feel free to open a bug for that.

Best Regards

Martin
