Time Zone Settings when using NTP?

[Shanew1]

I several NTP servers defined and was wondering how my time zones should be configured on my ESX servers. Should UTC be set to true or false in the "/etc/sysconfig/clock" file? Currently my time zone information is set to the following:

ZONE=America/New_York

UTC=True

ARC=False

Does it matter whether UTC is set to True or False considering that I am pulling time from an NTP server? When searching I have been getting some conflicting information.

The following Vmware KB indicates the following settings ()

ZONE="US/Pacific" (of course your TZ may vary)* UTC=false *ARC=false

No indication in the KB that it matters but it is how Vmaware indicates it should be set.

Okay, so I should uncheck the default "System clock uses UTC" during the setup? I saw that KB article as well, but it did not state that is was for version 3.5.

hmm you right, sorry does not indicate 3.5
