The Engine has the TimeZone types compiled, this may be an issue when one wants to configure a Windows Machine to use UTC as a Timezone instead of GMT. Using GMT sets the Windows VM to "London, Dublin" time which may cause issues with daylight saving for some users. There should be an option to supply our own Timezone or the least, make sure it is indeed coordinated with what Windows supports.

Hi Erez, Did you try changing it in the engine-config[1]? [1] - https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/engine/engine-supported-time-z... Regards, Liran. On Mon, Jul 20, 2020 at 7:24 PM Erez Zarum <erezz@nanosek.com> wrote:

I ran into this link while searching, how can i change it using engine-config? I see no reference there. Thanks

I think this: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/engine/engine-config-examples.... Or this: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4-bet... May help you. Here is an example in the docs: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4-bet... Liran. On Wed, Jul 22, 2020 at 1:54 PM Erez Zarum <erezz@nanosek.com> wrote:

Hey Liran, I still don't understand from those resources how can i add an "extra" timezone that is not "compiled" into Engine? Is there a possibility you can write one here? I fear to mess up the Engine.

Hi, I'm afraid not. There is no option to add a new one. The only options you have for windows are: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/embedded/ms912391... As can be seen in: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-engine.git;a=blob;f=backend/manager/...

(GMT) Greenwich Standard Time should result in offset=0 which will give you UTC time inside the guest

Looking at above mentioned table I see we have Etc/GMT. Any specific reason for not adding Etc/UTC to the table too? It differs from Etc/GMT by a bunch of nanoseconds but we are setting Etc/UTC by default on oVirt Node and sounds weird not having it as supported timezone.

This does not set to UTC inside the guest, i have not checked this on Linux, but on Windows the guest uses: "Monrovia, Reykjavik". Why not give the user to option to add a custom one?
