Basic software procedures
5.2.11 Verifying the system time settings
I
This task only applies to Linux and VMware environments.
After the system board has been replaced, the system time is set automatically.
By default, the RTC (Real Time Clock) time standard is set as the local time.
If a Linux/VMware OS is used and the hardware clock has been configured as
UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated) in the operating system, the BMC local time
may not be mapped correctly.
Ê
After replacing the system board, ask the system administrator whether the
RTC or UTC time standard is to be used as system time.
I
If the system time (RTC) is set to UTC, the SEL (System Event Log)
time stamps may differ from the local time.
Ê
Enter the BIOS.
Ê
Select the Main menu.
Ê
Under
System Time
and
System Date
specify the correct time and date.
I
By default, the system time set in the BIOS is RTC (Real Time Clock)
local time. If your IT infrastructure relies on universally accepted time
standards, set the
System Time to UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated)
instead. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) can be considered equivalent
to UTC.
Ê
Save your changes and exit the BIOS.
I
For more information on how to access the BIOS and modify settings,
see the corresponding BIOS Setup Utility reference manual.
