iDRAC9 NTP

Question

I just set up iDRAC9 on our r750 and enabled NTP pointing to our internal NTP server that has the correct time and set the zone to US/Eastern

I verified connectivity to the NTP server and the time is correct.

However, the time shown when I add a note on the dashboard is 1 hr behind?

Is iDRAC supposed to get the time from NTP or the BIOS on the server?

thanks

Is time zone properly configured on iDRAC also? Is time on work note only showing 1 hour behind. What about iDRAC and time show in other places in iDRAC?

I don't see where you configure the time on iDRAC.

I just see a Time Zone Settings and NTP Serve Settings, but no place to set the time

Work note entry looks to be 1 hr behind.

Where else is time shown in iDRAC

thanks

I was referring time zone setting only. Is time zone configured properly? To verify you can configure same time zone as NTP server and check whether both NTP and iDRAC showing same time. You can see iDRAC time on iDRAC Settings -> Overview page
