Curious if anyone knows of a way to select UTC timezone? I just upgraded to 3.2 and see it's still not available. Is there a particular city choice that's safe to use to achieve the same timezone? I am not sure if UCS treats London as GMT year round or if it switches to British summer time.

Hostasaurus,
Is the summer-time command available? Typically the time zone and daylight savings are two different settings.

Unfortunately UCS doesn't accept GMT or UTC as a valid timezone. The CLI is basically just a mirror for what you can pick in the Time Zone Management area of the Admin tab:
ucs10-B /system/services # set timezone
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
Please select a continent or ocean.
1) Africa 4) Arctic Ocean 7) Australia 10) Pacific Ocean
2) Americas 5) Asia 8) Europe
3) Antarctica 6) Atlantic Ocean 9) Indian Ocean
#?
You then further drill down to specific countries and cities. Oh, you did help guide me to what I think will work though. As I dug around, I found that Atlantic/Reykjavik is available under Atlantic Ocean, and they are matched to UTC without daylight savings adjustment, so that should work.
