System time zone is not synchronized

You can configure the time zone on iDRAC and synchronize the iDRAC time using Network Time Protocol (NTP) instead of BIOS or host system times. You must have configure privilege to configure time zone or NTP settings.

About this task

To configure time zone and NTP using iDRAC web interface:

Steps

  1. Go to Overview > iDRAC Settings > Properties > Settings.
    The Time zone and NTP page is displayed.
  2. To configure the time zone, from the Time Zone drop-down list, select the required time zone, and then click Apply.
  3. To configure NTP, enable NTP, enter the NTP server addresses, and then click Apply.
    For information about the fields, see iDRAC Online Help.

Next steps

To configure time zone and NTP, use the set command with the objects in the iDRAC.Time and iDRAC.NTPConfigGroup group.

For troubleshooting NTP sync issues, see ECS: NTP does not sync to hardware clock.
