Time Zone Issues

Question

I'm having time zone issues on my OME server and it's causing all sorts of headaches. The job log appears to be in UTC, whereas my server is set to Pacific time. My time settings are set to use our local NTP server and appear to be correct and functioning as the time config page shows me the correct time. However, when I create a firmware deployment or another job, the job log shows it as starting at the UTC time and it doesn't execute immediately. However, that night at the time shown in the job log, the job seems to start. This doesn't seem to be an issue in my other site with a second OME server. Any thoughts on how to rectify the 'bad' site without a rebuild? That's a lot of config work to redo. Thanks!!

They said they would have a fix in the next release, which is due mid September.

Thanks for the post.

You might try going to the appliance console (Text User Interface) and pick the restart services option to see if that provides any help.

Otherwise, we may need a ticket open so the support guys can look into it a bit more closely.

Thanks,

Rob

I'll put the phone number here, but I need to enter it in a goofy format since this forum software strips out a lot of numbers.

I've rebooted the console and restarted services and it still seems to be an issue. If you would like a tech to take a look, I would be willing to work with them. Thanks! -Isaac

Isaac, Ok, thanks for trying that.  Yes, best to open a ticket at the phone number my other post so support can take a look. Thanks, Rob

Ticket has been opened and a tech was able to repro the issue pretty quickly. Kinda surprising others haven't seen this or aren't having issues. I have repro'ed the issue on every install I've done.

Thanks!!
