It certainly appears to be using the wrong TZ (GMT). I suppose you are seeing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=956741 When RHEL VMs are powered off/on time is off by as much as 3 hrs when system comes back up which http://gerrit.ovirt.org/14750 should fix. Which ovirt version are you using? Would you agree to verify the patch once Martin backports it?
