Question

An administrator is troubleshooting fault correlation in Cisco UCS Manager. Fault timestamps in the UCS Manager GUI appear several hours off from the timestamps in the syslog server logs, making it difficult to correlate events across the data center. The Fabric Interconnects currently have no time source configured. Which action best resolves the timestamp discrepancy for future faults and logs?

Accepted Answer

Configure an NTP server and set the correct time zone under Admin > Time Zone Management in UCS Manager

Answer

Manually set the clock on each Fabric Interconnect using the local-mgmt CLI and reboot the cluster

Answer

Enable Call Home so Cisco can synchronize the Fabric Interconnect clocks automatically

Answer

Adjust the retention policy for faults so old timestamps are purged and regenerated
