[ovirt-users] VM time offset

[Matthew Lagoe]

In my experience for windows guests you need to set the time on the vm to
your local time, for RHEL you need to set it to UTC.

I'm having the same issue where the guest time is offset by 7 hours (out
timezone difference) from UTC.  I read in the VM System configuration for
Time Zone that hwclock on Linux guests should have the TZ set to GMT+0, but
if I change it to GMT-7, the clock is set as expected on boot.

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue where the VMs do not keep correct time upon reboot. The
clock is always off by ~4 hours.
I've checked and time and time zone on engine/host nodes is correct. Correct
time zone is specified in the ovirt vm configuration as well.

The VM in question is a clean CentOS 7 install. It did not have NTP enabled.
I've tried setting it up with a local server and no dice. Upon reboot it
always gets messed up.

[root at xyz-dev ~]# reboot
Connection to sso-dev closed by remote host.

[root at xyz-dev ~]# date

[root at xyz-dev ~]# ntpdate ntp1.xyz.domain.org
 7 Aug 17:21:05 ntpdate[2151]: step time server 130.64.25.6 offset

Thanks,
