Hi,

I've always believed that when NTP or local time is set on an iDRAC the time set is for the iDRAC itself. ie used for iDRAC local logs etc, and that the iDRAC is a self contained unit within a DELL server..

is that a correct assumption?

I was discussing this with a colleague today and we wondered if the iDRAC set time could 'leak-out' to the local BIOS and continue to 'leak-out' and up the stack to the server OS? (centos in this case) 

could anyone clarify how time or local settings work on the iDRACs please..

Apologies in advanced if this sounds rather noddy!
