move CVM to GMT? | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Any thoughts about moving the CVM to a non-daylight saving timezone We typically use the GMT timezone of Atlantic/Reykjavik.
You can change the timezone withthe following command:

ncli cluster set-timezone timezone=cluster_timezone**Replace cluster_timezone with the timezone of the cluster, timezones are defined in /usr/share/zoneinfo (for example, America/Los_Angeles, Europe/London, Asia/Tokyo).
Hi, Thanks for the reply. If i make this adjustment, will all future nodes added to the cluster inherit this timezone setting automatically?
In NOS 4.1.1.4, zookeeper should enforce the CVM to acquire the timezone when a new node is added.

I am not sure it does not in previous versions, so a cluster could be running with CVMs in different timezones, but as long as the epoch time matches there is no problem in functionality. NCC will display a Warning if this condition is found.
Adding to f3rm1n post, I have observed that upgrade of NOS on CVM resets the timezone.
