OK, thanks.
BTW: I see that engine VM is run with option
-rtc base=2016-01-25T13:51:16,driftfix=slew -global
kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -no-hpet

On hypervisor, a VM configured with Europe/Rome timezone, the related
process is this:

[root at ovc72 ~]# ps -ef|grep qemu
qemu      2995     1 12 14:51 ?        00:07:49 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name
HostedEngine ...

So what is the command run on host to set base= one hour before?

I confirm tat now (after also a full restart of engine and hos) I get no
more warnings:
It seems that after complete reboot of environment is not there anymore:
