Hello, I have configured NTP in the GUI but due to a wrong timezone time isn't OK
I cannot edit the timezone in the GUI so I looked for CLI commands.
According to this article it should be possible to use scope system but this command isn't available in my CLI:
BKS-C220-FCH1743V1FY#
commit Batch commit changes
connect Connect to other console
discard Discard all changes
exit Exit from command interpreter
scope Changes the current mode
set Set property values
show Show system information
top Go to the top mode
BKS-C220-FCH1743V1FY#
BKS-C220-FCH1743V1FY# scope
bios System BIOS: Basic Input/Output System
certificate Security Certificates for SSH & SSL
chassis Server Inventory Items
cimc Cisco Integrated Management Controller
fault Configure alerts on platform events/fault
http Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
ipmi Intelligent Platform Management Interface
kvm Keyboard Video Mouse console to host
ldap Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
sel System Event Log
sensor Sensors
snmp Simple Network Management Protocol
sol Serial Over Lan (character mode console to Host)
ssh Secure Shell Configuration
user Local users of this CIMC
user-session Active user sessions on this CIMC
vmedia Virtual Media (mount local media onto Host)
xmlapi XML API Configuration
BKS-C220-FCH1743V1FY# scope
% Incomplete command
BKS-C220-FCH1743V1FY#
How should I change the timezone???

Hello,
Unfortunately you were checking a pretty old guide for UCSM 1.3 (we have gone through UCSM 1.4/2.0/2.1 and currently on 2.2 already) and this server you are trying to configure seems to be in standalone mode...
For a standalone C series server, the only 2 ways to manage their time is either in BIOS or through NTP configuration (starting on CIMC 1.5) but not their timezone. See the screenshots attached.
If you integrate the server with UCSM then you can set up the time zone.

Hello, thank you for the answer.
I'ts a standalone UCS indeed, this is our first UCS.
I changed time and ntp server in CIMC as you describe but for changing the timezone I need to setup a Cisco USCS Manager?!?

Peter,
It is not that you need to set up UCSM, it is more that time zone is only included in UCSM, so if you want to use it for a C series, it can only be done if you have the server integrated; otherwise you only have the option to do it as explained before.

OK, I've set the correct time in System Setup
Once the system is booted the time goes back 2 hours again...
NTP is disabled!
Any ideas left?

Peter,
All I could think of is that the CMOS battery is not providing power to keep that setting. Do you know if any other setting that you configure in BIOS is lost after a reboot? that would confirm my theory...
