There was a problem hiding this comment.
Personally, I prefer to replace the if .. elif block with python dictionary, like following,
ntpmode_map = {
"DHCP": "DHCP",
"DEFAULT": "Factory",
}
return ntpmode_map.get(code, "Unknown")
xenapi host.set_timezone to config the timezone of the host. host.set_ntp_mode to manage the NTP. The NTP mode mapping to xsconsole is: DHCP - dhcp Factory - default Custom - manual Disabled - none host.set_ntp_custom_servers to configure the NTP servers that used in Custom mode.

XAPI APIs can't set NTP Custom mode with empty custom NTP servers. This is a meaningless selection that NTP is enabled but the time sources are not configured. It is Disable NTP in fact. Signed-off-by: Changlei Li <changlei.li@cloud.com>
The previous /etc/timezone is not on the system, but written by xsconsole itself. It's more reasonable to read link from /etc/localtime. This is also consistent with XAPI's behavior. Signed-off-by: Changlei Li <changlei.li@cloud.com>
