iDRAC read RTC(real time clock) as local timezone or UTC?
Windows default read RTC(real time clock) as local timezone, and there is a option to swtich to UTC.
Linux default read RTC(real time clock) as UTC, and 'timedatectl set-local-rtc 1' to switch to local time zone.
I want to match the date of log in iDRAC and Linux/Windows,
so iDRAC read RTC(real time clock) as local timezone or UTC?
By test, It seems that iDRAC read RTC(real time clock) as local timezone(like Windows),
Is there a option to witch to UTC?
No Events found!

Do you have configured the timezone within the iDRAC? There is an option since idRAC 6 or 7.

You can configure iDRAC to sync time with NTP server. By default iDRAC tie get synced with BIOS time

But Windows/Linux use BIOS time(RTC) in different ways.
The Question is how to let the BIOS time to match Windows/Linux. It seems that BIOS time default match Windows's way. How to let BIOS time match Linux's way?
