Why changing? Leave the vROps appliance set to UTC. Changing the timezone on the appliance can affect pricing calculations.
vROps displays time according to the users locale settings in their browser independent of the timezone of the vROps appliance.

Was I helpful? Give a kudo for appreciation!

Try the below steps. 

  1. Set the new time zone by running the following command. Substitute a time zone that you found when browsing the directories, for example:
    /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_timezone_cmd America/Los_Angeles
  2. Restart the node.
  3. Update the date and time by running the hwclock command.
    For example, set the date and time to December 31 2015 6:00 PM by running the following commands:
    hwclock --set --date="12/31/2015 18:00:00"
    hwclock --hctosys
    date # Used to verify the time was correctly set
  4. Restart the node.
  5. Use the vRealize Operations Manager administrator interface to bring the node online.
