[ANN] oVirt 3.6.2 Final Release is now available
by Sandro Bonazzola
The oVirt Project is pleased to announce today the general availability of
oVirt 3.6.2.
This latest community release includes several new features, such as:
- More feedback about the status of the recovery
- Rebalance option have been disabled on the menu for non-distributed
volumes
- Host in maintenance mode now stop glusterd and glusterfsd processes
- Host activation now restart glusterd
- Improved DNF support
- Improved MOM performances
- Added the ability to override the Storage Domain name field
oVirt is an open-source, openly-governed enterprise virtualization
management application, developed by a global community. You can use the
oVirt management interface (oVirt Engine) to manage hardware nodes, storage
and network resources, and to deploy and monitor virtual machines running
in your data center.
If you are familiar with VMware products, oVirt is conceptually similar to
vSphere. oVirt serves as the bedrock for Red Hat's Enterprise
Virtualization product, and it is the "upstream" project where new features
are developed prior to their inclusion in Red Hat's supported product
offering.

OK, thanks.
BTW: I see that engine VM is run with option
-rtc base=2016-01-25T13:51:16,driftfix=slew -global
kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -no-hpet
On hypervisor, a VM configured with Europe/Rome timezone, the related
process is this:
[root@ovc72 ~]# ps -ef|grep qemu
qemu 2995 1 12 14:51 ? 00:07:49 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name
HostedEngine ...
So what is the command run on host to set base= one hour before?

I confirm tat now (after also a full restart of engine and hos) I get no
more warnings:
It seems that after complete reboot of environment is not there anymore:
