Is there any way to define the Virtual hardware clock Timezone for the KVM?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When booting guest RHEL, host server time is set to GMT instead of the local timezone.
  • NTPD resets times eventually, but autostart apps do not have correct timezone.
  • Timezone change only happens after powering off the guest, not when rebooting the guest.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux VM
