Thank you very much for all this detailed informations, Shirly. The
only
point is that we (must I say "I" ?) never really ask for DWH when
installing ovirt with hosted engine, maybe it's a lake of documentation on
my part but I never hear about it in the installation procedure. Where I
deduce that it is installed with ovirt engine, and if it is a Postgre
functionality, and if the Postgre database is automatically created in the
engine VM, so it is installed in the engine VM (Q.E.D. :) )
The warning you point to me maybe is not enough visible in installation
procedures for who lives in a country subject to the summer/winter time...
But even apart of that, I don't remember during the hosted engine
installation a moment where it ask us for a timezone, you see ? So I wonder
where or when I could have force UTC time, in fact...
Can you tell me (and maybe for others installing it in France or similar
countries) if you see when this DWH and timezone questions can be managed
in the hosted engine installation process ?
You are right that there is no option to set this in the installation time.
But it is based on the system timezone of the machine, which I believe you
can set before installing oVirt.
Since 4.0 DWH is installed by default to provide the historic data for the
Admin portal dashboard.
It might be worth mentioning in the installation docs, but I'm not sure it
should be a reason to choose UTC for the machine only based on this.
This said, if I understand correctly your answers below, can I resume as
this : don't touch anything now, as the error is automatically repaired
after this "1 hour gap / overlap" (so I have no more messages after
3:00AM). Right ?
That is correct.
Many thanks again,

"If no time zone is stated in the input string, then it is assumed to be
in the time zone indicated by the system's TimeZone parameter, and is
converted to UTC using the offset for the timezone zone."

I mean the machine DWH is installed on. It can be a VM.
But I'm not saying we recommend all VMs to be set to UTC.

No need.

It is possible to update it, but its not mandatory.
The 1 hour gap / overlap is expected when moving from summer to winter and
back when not using UTC and I'm not sure if its even worth updating at this
point,
at the risk of ending up with a real bug..
