Using the Platform Management Card, you can perform advanced tasks such as configuring platform management card virtual console properties and users, performing remote management tasks, and troubleshooting remotely managed systems.
Do not change the default DNC RAC name, IP address, NTP settings and Time zone settings on the Platform Management Card (PMC). By default, the time zone is set to UTC. Any change to one of these will alter the time zone setting, which in turn will impact the event time stamps. |
