[ovirt-users] Re: import vm from iscsi storage domain fails with "Cannot import VM. Invalid time zone for given OS type. Attribute: vm.vmStatic"

In addition to what Liran said This time-zones lines is what we had issue with before 4.4.9:

America/Indianapolis=US Eastern Standard Time Europe/Warsaw=Central European Standard Time If you don't know really the time-zone of the VM, you can try to add them To add them, there is also new provided documentation here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/virtual_machine_management_guide/inde...
