you can change the default - 'DefaultTimeZone'
not sure if its in engine-config
Thanks but
# engine-config -a | grep -i zone
#
# engine-config -l | grep -i zone
#
engine-config -g DefaultTimeZone
Error fetching DefaultTimeZone value: no such entry. Please verify key
name and property file support.
Leaving apart for a momento the default, trying to solve my particular
vm timezone problem
engine=# select vm_name,time_zone from vm_static;
 vm_name |   time_zone
---------+----------------
 Blank   |
 infra   | Africa/Algiers
 winxp   |
 test    | Africa/Algiers
(4 rows)
infra and test are ok (CET actually in the gui) so
engine=# update vm_static set time_zone='Africa/Algiers' where
vm_name='winxp';
UPDATE 1
engine=# commit;
COMMIT
engine=# select vm_name,time_zone from vm_static;
 vm_name |   time_zone
---------+----------------
 Blank   |
 infra   | Africa/Algiers
 winxp   | Africa/Algiers
 test    | Africa/Algiers
(4 rows)
but also after engine service restart, I continue to see gmt-12 in
edit vm in gui....
tried also some commands in ovirt-shell but found no way...
Any help would be appreciated... in charge I'm going to write
something inside the wiki... if not already there ;-)
well i dont really know, just a long shot,
try to clear utc_diff in  vm_dynamic:
update vm_dynamic set utc_diff = null where vm_guid=(select vm_guid from vm_static where vm_name='winxp');
