Modifying time zone on Dell EMC ECS is quite straight forward. First, make a backup of the original localtime file and then link the correct one to that:

viprexec "mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime-bkp"
viprexec "ln /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Bucharest /etc/localtime"

That’s all. You can now force a NTP sync:

viprexec "systemctl stop ntpd"
viprexec "/usr/sbin/ntpd -gnq"
viprexec "systemctl start ntpd"

And also check NTP offset:

viprexec -i "ntpq -p"
