Hello,
all my searching/reading left me more confused. My current problem is a Windows VM that has a wrong "timezone" - at least if I do not activate internet time server sync.
Settings are:
- OVirt VM definition - First Run GMT+1 - thats ok - hypervisor host: timezone CET (= GMT+1) - 18:00 - thats ok - Windows VM: timezone CET ( = GMT+1) - 17:00 - thats wrong
I got a thread that suggested to look at vm_dynamic. There we have:
select a.vm_name,b.utc_diff from vm_static a, vm_dynamic b engine-# where a.vm_guid=b.vm_guid; vm_name | utc_diff ------------------+---------- Win7x64_Master | 0
But what should that tell me?
Although we work with timeservers inside the VMs we want to ensure that even without them the VM time should match the hypervisor time.
Has anyone a simple and clear explanation how this should work.
Thanks in advance.

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.

I'll be happy to try a patch, if you can deliver it in a convenient way for me to install. The bug comments and synopsis are misleading so at first I didn't think this was it. The bug specifically says "Time is off by exactly 1 or 3 hours, depending on VM" and the synopsis says "time is off by as much as 3 hrs". My time is currently 4 hours off (I think it was 5 before Daylight Savings Time). The release note text states the issue correctly though, I think. The only thing giving me any doubt is that all my non-Windows VMs are fine. The problem is isolated to Windows guests. -Bob On 02/06/2014 01:43 PM, Dan Kenigsberg wrote:

I have the same issue. I have assumed it was a Windows configuration issue. I have relied on sync'ing to Internet Time upon each bootup. It would be nice to find a solution to this. My Windows VM consistently comes up exactly 5 hours off, and although NTP is configured the time is never corrected until I manually sync to Internet Time. 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?
Dan.
I implemented the above patch on one of our hypervisor nodes. But this does not change anything. The VM has always the time difference after reboot that is set in table vm_dynamic.
That patch is not intended to change this fact. What it should do is report a correct timeOffset once your guest OS syncs its time.
We are on GMT+1. if utc_diff = 0 Windows VM time is on hour back. If utc_diff = 3600 Windows VM time matches.
Should I file a new BZ?
I'd prefer to make sure we have all the facts first. Would you boot your VM, and report the vmCreate line from vdsm.log? The, fix the timezone withing the guest, and report the rtc events from the log, and the timeOffset reported by `vdsClient -s 0 getAllVmStats`. Stop the VM and check if Engine's utc_diff has changed. A detailed BZ report is worth its weight in gold ;-) Dan.

Hi Dan,
just saw the bug update with target 3.4.1. Could you reproduce the bug and do you have some advice how to handle that setting until then? And what should I expect when daylight saving takes place in march?
From my understanding I would:
- pin all VMs to utc_diff=3600 (GMT+1) now - pin all VMs to utc_diff=7200 (GMT+2) after change of summertime

A detailed BZ report is worth its weight in gold ;-)
Dan.
Opened BZ 1062615 for that.

Hi Dan,
just saw the bug update with target 3.4.1. Could you reproduce the bug and do you have some advice how to handle that setting until then?
No, I did not reproduce the bug myself. I believe that your report is true and asked Michal to get it fixed by ovirt-3.4.1 (frankly, let's ask to fix it earlier!) I have no intermediate remedy, save for manually editing utc_diff.
And what should I expect when daylight saving takes place in march?
From my understanding I would:
- pin all VMs to utc_diff=3600 (GMT+1) now - pin all VMs to utc_diff=7200 (GMT+2) after change of summertime
Yes, assuming that the local admin of the VM do not want to change their timezone - in Windows it means an update of the rtc, which is not saved properly in Engine. Dan.
