Let’s say you received an alert stating that all CVMs are not in the same timezone or all hosts are not in the same timezone.

What does it mean?

Well, as simple as the alert indicates, the CVMs/hosts are not in the same timezone. We need to ensure that the same timezone is configured across all the CVMs/Hosts as it ensures that all the guest VMs log messages are timestamped consistently.

How will you know about the timezone issue?

There is an NCC health check, “same_timezone_check” in place to inform any discrepancy in the timezones.

To know more about the alerts and errors which can be seen and how to change the timezone, take a look at https://support-portal.nutanix.com/#/page/kbs/details?targetId=kA0600000008hm9CAA
