Hi Richard,
Sorry, I missed the email, I found out that the ova OS used by the customer is win11 uefi, so I tried to reproduce the error today using win11-uefi guest
Steps: 1. Convert win10-efi with UTC-8 timezone, win11-non-efi with UTC-8 timezone, win11-efi with UTC-8 timezone, win11-efi with UTC+8 timezone, win2022-efi with UTC-8 timezone from VMware by v2v, then check the installation status after finishing conversion
Summary the test result as below:
qemu-ga
Win10-efi-UTC-8 PASS Win11-non-efi UTC-8 PASS Win11-efi-UTC-8 FAIL(can't find qemu-ga log in c:\) Win11-efi-UTC+8 FAIL(can't find qemu-ga log in c:\) Win2022-efi-UTC-8 PASS
Based on the above results, I think this problem is only caused by win11-efi and has nothing to do with the time zone "UTC-8"
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 Regards Ming Xie
