Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, it was not possible to set the engine time zone using engine-config. With this update, engine-config can now be used to configure the time zone via two keys: DefaultWindowsTimeZone for Windows virtual machines, and DefaultGeneralTimeZone for all other virtual machines.

Description Jiri Belka 2013-06-17 10:11:27 UTC
Description of problem:
BZ972739 introduced/correct TZ handling but one cannot define it via rhevm-config without editing engine.properties.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sf18

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rhevm-config -s DefaultWindowsTimeZone="Israel Standard Time"
2.
3.

Actual results:
not possible, rhevm-config does not know the key

Expected results:
push it to engine.properties so rhevm-config can be used to override value for TZs

trivial. And better be backported to 3.2.z

Comment 3 Jiri Belka 2013-06-28 08:37:27 UTC
Ok, is3, included in /etc/ovirt-engine/engine-config/engine-config.properties

Comment 5 Jaison Raju 2013-10-15 11:17:56 UTC
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

Comment 6 Martin Betak 2013-10-15 13:05:14 UTC
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
