Has anyone run across this error:
Cannot run VM. Invalid time zone for given OS type.
The OS type for these VMs is set to Linux Other. They were all exported from an Ovirt 3.2 cluster and are being reimported into an Ovirt 3.3 cluster. None of these VMs will boot. We also can't delete them because delete protection is enabled and we can't edit the VM to turn off delete protection.
Does anyone know what this error means exactly and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Dan
Hi Dan, I had the very problem myself. The fix for it is quite easy, but requires manual editing of one database table. In table "vm_static" find your non-starting vms (they propably all have an empty string set as timezone in column "time_zone") and update that column to null. There was a recent change in the timezone code and it now fails when the timezone is an empty string, but works fine if it null.
