I installed and configured a CentOS 7.1 guest and I'm able to see guest info. See screenshot. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvVVY4NUJiRU0wTU0/view?usp=sha... But I do have the time zone problem. I verified that my self hosted engine (I did the deploy through the provided appliance) was by default configured with UTC timezone. I then changed it using inside its OS the command: timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Rome then I made global maintenance and restarted both the host and the engine. I still had the exclamation mark. Then I modified the VM inside the GUI in Edit VM --> System --> General . As you see in screenshot it was Etc/GMT and then Europe/Berlin. And finally shutdown/power on (because reboot doesn't instantiate a new qemu/kvm process) And now it is ok from an OS point of view andalso GUI point of view. See: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvSmp1QjVEMEVPQms/view?usp=sha... I don't know if the update itself from 3.5 to 3.6 could have scrambled anything, but in my case all is ok if the various configurations involved match. BTW: I noticed that the "Guest Info" visualized data are not so dynamic: sometimes if I do some changes, I have to click another tab (eg affinity groups) and then "Guest Info" again to be able to see updated values host: # timedatectl status ; ssh ractorshe "timedatectl status" ; ssh 10.4.4.29 "timedatectl status" Local time: Sun 2015-11-29 16:27:49 CET Universal time: Sun 2015-11-29 15:27:49 UTC RTC time: Sun 2015-11-29 15:27:49 Timezone: Europe/Rome (CET, +0100) NTP enabled: yes NTP synchronized: yes RTC in local TZ: no DST active: no Last DST change: DST ended at Sun 2015-10-25 02:59:59 CEST Sun 2015-10-25 02:00:00 CET Next DST change: DST begins (the clock jumps one hour forward) at Sun 2016-03-27 01:59:59 CET Sun 2016-03-27 03:00:00 CEST SH Engine: Local time: Sun 2015-11-29 16:27:51 CET Universal time: Sun 2015-11-29 15:27:51 UTC RTC time: Sun 2015-11-29 15:27:50 Timezone: Europe/Rome (CET, +0100) NTP enabled: yes NTP synchronized: yes RTC in local TZ: no DST active: no Last DST change: DST ended at Sun 2015-10-25 02:59:59 CEST Sun 2015-10-25 02:00:00 CET Next DST change: DST begins (the clock jumps one hour forward) at Sun 2016-03-27 01:59:59 CET Sun 2016-03-27 03:00:00 CEST Guest: # timedatectl status Local time: Sun 2015-11-29 16:28:07 CET Universal time: Sun 2015-11-29 15:28:07 UTC RTC time: Sun 2015-11-29 16:28:06 Timezone: Europe/Rome (CET, +0100) NTP enabled: yes NTP synchronized: yes RTC in local TZ: no DST active: no Last DST change: DST ended at Sun 2015-10-25 02:59:59 CEST Sun 2015-10-25 02:00:00 CET Next DST change: DST begins (the clock jumps one hour forward) at Sun 2016-03-27 01:59:59 CET Sun 2016-03-27 03:00:00 CEST A strange thing with guest is that it seems it starts wrong because if current time is 16:25 I notice right after boot that I get both the "!" inside the GUI and wrong timestamp inside OS (1 hour ahead): # date Sun Nov 29 17:25:41 CET 2015 # timedatectl status Local time: Sun 2015-11-29 17:25:46 CET Universal time: Sun 2015-11-29 16:25:46 UTC RTC time: Sun 2015-11-29 16:25:46 Timezone: Europe/Rome (CET, +0100) NTP enabled: yes NTP synchronized: yes RTC in local TZ: no DST active: no Last DST change: DST ended at Sun 2015-10-25 02:59:59 CEST Sun 2015-10-25 02:00:00 CET Next DST change: DST begins (the clock jumps one hour forward) at Sun 2016-03-27 01:59:59 CET Sun 2016-03-27 03:00:00 CEST with apparently chronyd going to set time correctly detecting a huge step: # systemctl status chronyd -l chronyd.service - NTP client/server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/chronyd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Sun 2015-11-29 17:24:04 CET; 57min left Main PID: 1354 (chronyd) CGroup: /system.slice/chronyd.service └─1354 /usr/sbin/chronyd -u chrony Nov 29 17:24:04 racclient.inside.polimi.it systemd[1]: Starting NTP client/server...

Donna if it is a problem with CentOS 7.1 itself or oVirt. Gianluca
