# cat /etc/ovirt-engine/timezones/00-defaults.properties | grep -ie bogota
America/Bogota=SA Pacific Standard Time
any suggestions for me??
Did you select operating system = Windows in the import dialog?
If so, the reason for this is probably that 112 is not recognized by us as a Windows operating system type [1] and so we set the timezone to the default timezone for non-Windows operating systems and we get a conflict.
I'd suggest to either change the attribute ovf:id of the OperatingSystemSection element to 122, which corresponds to Windows 2019x64, or not to set the operating system to Windows, let the import process to complete with "Other OS" and then change the operating system of the VM to Windows
