Hello,
I'm curious how the system clock gets set on UCS blades?
I have NTP setup in UCSM and expected the blades to set their time based on that during first boot at the very least.
I recently associated a new service profile to a blade and installed ESXi5. The VMware 60 grace license period showed the correct expiry date (04/07/2012) but as soon as I would connect with the vSphere client it would say grace period ended. After digging a bit the blade had a date set for someday in 2010? Anyone know why this would be the case and how I can set the blade system clock?
