<div>
are all of these servers fully patched?
</div>


<div>
Yes the server are fully patched...
</div>


<div>
I think the meaning of patched means to include whether the HP insight/Firmware of the hardware side is patched as well as set to enable DST.<br />
Access the HP insight hardware config to see whether it too is set to DST.
</div>


<div>
Already Firmware updated and DST is already been enabled in the BIOS side. Still not resolved...
</div>


<div>
See the following advisory.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://h20565.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=7799270&docId=emr_na-c04760579&docLocale=en_US" rel="ugc">http://h20565.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=7799270&docId=emr_na-c04760579&docLocale=en_US</a><br />
<br />
My Suggestion under the circumstances change the time on the HW to UTC/GMT and then do the offset... based on the time of the entry in the log until they issue a fix.

Hello Arnold,<br />
<br />
Should I set the Time zone UTC only or should I set the Time zone on location basis in BIOS? Also DST should be enable or disable in BIOS, what should be the Time Format in BIOS as well?<br />
<br />
Because if I am configuring the BIOS on UTC +1 Time Zone and DST enabled, Time Format UTC then its shows system rebooted 1 hour back which is wrong, but when I configuring the Time Format in BIOS to Local &amp;&nbsp;Time Zone automatically goes on Unspecified then its working fine for me but in Legacy BIOS Mode.<br />

If the advisory matches your system , change the bios time to use GMT/UTC versus local this way you can rely on the time/date by adding 1 or 0 depending on whether it is or not daylight savings period where you are.<br />
Not sure UTC+1 with daylight enable will actually work. note your current time zone is reflected as unspecified meaning even if daylight is enabled, there are no basis on which it will be adjusted since the daylight period is part of the timezone definition.<br />
Usually, for it to work, you have to pick when available the correct country/region timezone i.e. Central European Time, or ....<br />
See which timezone applies to you and see if this option is available as a selection within the BIOS and is not having this issue.<br />
<a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/" rel="ugc">http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/</a><br />
<br />
Given the advisory and without a current estimate on when this issue would be addressed, and given rebooting your server this frequently might interfere with what it is doing, My suggestion would be to set the time format to use UTC/GMT while setting the clock to be based on the current GMT/UTC time <br />
Use the worldclock from the same site, <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/" rel="ugc">http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/</a>&nbsp;to set your system time to UTC/GMT if your existing is not right.<br />
<br />
The OS will reflect the correct time based on its OS timezone/daylight setting.<br />
<br />
you need to remember that your log entries will be UTC/GMT ...... including past records as I believe the data is stored in UTC/GMT while displayed in the format selection.
</div>


<div>
You should set the timezone UTC and set the display format to UTC/GMT not local time.
</div>


<div>
Thanks Arnold.<br />
I will do as per your guideline in BIOS side. but can you please elaborate the offset. How can we do the offset process. What its means basically???
</div>


<div>
Once set to UTC/GMT you when viewing the entries have to calculate the localtime time.<br />
I gather you are in gmt/utc but when daylight kicks you are in gmt/utc+1.<br />
E offset was a reference to the adjustment from GMT oand match your timezone.

Hi EE,<br />
<br />
Could you please help me out like I am facing issue on HP Proliant Gen 9 Physical Box where I have installed Windows Server 2012 and facing DST time issue. When I take reboot of the server its syncing a time with my Domain Controller but when I see the System boot time its show me system rebooted 1 hours back. But I have rebooted the server before few minutes. I have updated the firmware as well but still issue is not resolved yet. I have checked the server sync with the DC when coming up. But at the time of booting its taking a time from CMOS clock as per &quot;Syteminfo&quot; command. Its taking time with the DC after when its completely comes up. I have checked by &quot;W32tm /query /source&quot; command as well and its taking a time from my DC when its comes up.<br />
<br />
Its occurring not only on single box on HP Gen9 but also on all of my HP Gen9 box in my environment wherever I have installed Windows Server 2012.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for your kind help... Because in this case I have also involved with HP &amp;&nbsp;Microsoft but still issue is not going...

DST Time issue on HP Gen 9 Physical Box with Windows Server 2012...

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
