Hi, Can you please provide what time-zone the VM you are trying to Import has? if you are trying to import from the OVA you can get the time-zone by going to the host location where the exported OVA exists, open it and check what is the value of the <TimeZone> tag Thanks, Saif > From: <hibbsncc1701(a)gmail.com&gt; > Date: Fri, Aug 27, 2021 at 9:27 AM > Subject: [ovirt-users] How to re-import a VM with an invalid > timezone? > To: <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; > > > I've just finished my upgrade to oVirt 4.4.8.4, but I've got one > previously working VM that I cannot reimport.

Hi Patrick, hope you are doing well We identified the issue and it will be fixed in future version However, there is two workarounds that you can do 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- you can extend the time-zones list and add the time-zone that is missing in order to do that you need to follow the instructions here and then add this time zone line: America/Indianapolis=US Eastern Standard Time then restart the engine Thanks, Saif On Sun, Aug 29, 2021 at 9:02 PM Patrick Hibbs <hibbsncc1701(a)gmail.com > wrote: > Hello, > Unfortuately, I can't give you the exact information as oVirt > doesn't display that information on the VM import window.
