Note: It is not necessary to reboot the ESX Server host after following this procedure.
After updating /etc/localtime with the correct zoneinfo data, confirm the system and hardware clocks are correct. Use the Linux date command to check and set the correct time if necessary. Set the hardware clock to match the correct system time.
Note: Upon booting, ESX Server runs /etc/rc.d/init.d , which reads /etc/sysconfig/clock to set the system clock based on the hardware clock's current time and the configured time zone information. To synchronize ESX Server to an external time reference, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1339 .
