Jim,
Thanks a lot for your confirmation.
Could you also please explain if the issue can be ever fixed, if it's possible to make some patch to fix it?
Is it libvirt-specific bug or Libvirt development team rely on some other developers of libxl code...etc?
I'm asking because XL tools works fine and I wonder if XL uses the same libxl libraries , doesn't it?
Lastly is the issue is going be fixed in near time? Can you answer my questions and ask for some patch for
enhancement request or I should better send a separate email to development team ("libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx") ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answers...

Hello techs,
We used XL toolkit for Xen hypervisor for starting Windows hvm VMs and the option rtc_timeoffset worked perfectly with XL. It helped us to set correct Timezone time/offset for Windows HVM VMs from inside virtual_machine xen config.
For example:
Below option WORKS perfectly with XL toolkit.
[root@hw12xen ~]# cat goillltawdlssq.xl.cfg | grep offset
rtc_timeoffset = "7200" # +2 hours to UTC time (or +/-3600=+/-1 hour to UTC time)
[root@hw12xen ~]#
Now we try to migrate all the Windows hvm VMs to using Libvirt and Xen 4.6.6 (or 4.4).
But as we see it's impossible to make VMs using correct time/offset set in XML config like below:
below Libvirt option DOESN'T WORK as we expect...
[root@hw12xen ~]# cat goillltawdlssq.var.xml | grep offset
<clock offset='variable' adjustment='7200' />
[root@hw12xen ~]#
Can you please explain if there's something we're doing wrong way or it's just a bug like described here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212191 ?
No, you're not doing anything wrong. And yes, you've hit that bug, although I'd prefer to call it an enhancement request. Xen's rtc_timeoffset setting is currently not supported by the libvirt libxl driver.
Regards,
Jim
