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

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?
