hmm, where are you exactly setting the timezone? Within the guest, the
scheduled
task, or in the libvirt XML description?
The timezone is UTC-8(US&Canada Pacific Time) in third win11-efi and the
clock is UTC after v2v conversion
The Windows 11 trial VM in question (downloaded from
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/
->
https://aka.ms/windev_VM_vmware) comes with the timezone within the VM
set to
US/Pacific.
If I also set the RTC clock for the VM in the libvirt XML description
after
conversion like this:
<clock offset="timezone" timezone="US/Pacific">
<timer name="rtc" tickpolicy="catchup"/>
<timer name="pit" tickpolicy="delay"/>
<timer name="hpet" present="no"/>
<timer name="hypervclock" present="yes"/>
</clock>
Then qemu-ga successfully gets installed after a 2 minute delay. If I
leave the
default libvirt XML description at:
<clock offset="utc"/>
This method does not work in my win11-efi guest, the timezone in the guest
is UTC-8(US&Canada Pacific Time) ) and changed the clock as above
configuration,restarted the guest but qemu-ga still can‘t install
successfully
