Description of problem:when importing Windows VM with US Eastern Standard Time from OVA with version below 4.7, import fails How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Export Windows VM to OVA that have US Eastern Standard Time timezone in version 4.4.6 for example 2. upgrade to version >= 4.4.7 3. import the VM Actual results: import fails with: Cannot import VM. Invalid time zone for given OS type. Attribute: vm.vmStatic Expected results: VM to be imported successfully, and time zone to be changed to Eastern Standard Time Additional info: US Eastern Standard Time time zone got removed in 4.4.7, and there is no mapping to equivalent time zone Eastern Standard time there is two workarounds that cane be done in order to fix the issue: option 1- Change the existing VM's that is failing to default time-zone and try to do the process again option 2- Extend the time-zones list and add the time-zone that is missing in order to do that need to follow the instructions here and then add this time zone line: America/Indianapolis=US Eastern Standard Time then restart the engine
An easy workaround is to fix the typo in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf/timezones-defaults.properties or overriding Europe/Warsaw with a fixed value in a separate properties file

Verified on RHV 4.4.9-2. All looks good to me. Env: - Engine instance with RHV 4.4.9-2 (ovirt-engine-4.4.9-0.6.el8ev) and RHEL 8.5 installed. - 3 Hosts with RHV 4.4.9-2 and RHEL 8.5, vdsm-4.40.90.1-1.el8ev Steps: * Exported a Windows 10 VM with US Eastern Standard Time timezone set to OVA from RHV-4.4.6-6 (ovirt-engine-4.4.6.6-0.10.el8ev.noarch) In the RHV 4.4.9-2 instance: In Admin Portal: 1. Create a 4.6 data center and a 4.6 cluster. 2. Add the hosts and NFS data domains. 3. Import the VM from the exported OVA. Results (As Expected): 1. The 4.6 data center and a 4.6 cluster were created. 2. The host and data domain were added. 3. The VM was imported successfully with timezone (GMT-05:00) Eastern Standard Time.
