ESXI 6.5 time incorrect

Hi All,

I have configured ESXI servers to sync time from trusted NTP servers; i could see  sync was happening fine but the time was showing as wrong.

After checking i could see that timezone is showing as UTC; but i am on ETC timezone. Because of this time was showing wrongly at ESXi end.

Is there anyway to change the timezone in ESXi6.5 servers? I was not able to find it in ESXi end or even on Vcenter.

Please help me here ASAP.

Thanks

ESXi does not support changing time zone away from UTC.

So just for confirmation; Vcenter and ESXI servers will be having different timezones; Is that also recommended?

Vcenter will be on ETC and ESXi servers will be on UTC?

You can make vCenter whatever time you want. ESXi is always UTC. And they aren't different *times*, they're different time zones. Once the correct offset is applied, the times are the same.
