For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality.

Cisco UCS Central supports global date and time policies based on international time zones and defined NTP server. Registered Cisco UCS Manager clients choosing to define date and time globally within that client's policy resolution control will defer the configuration for date and time to its registration with Cisco UCS Central.
Before configuring a date and time policy under a domain group, this policy must first be created. Policies under the Domain Groups root were already created by the system and ready to configure.
A date and time policy is deleted from a domain group under the domain group root. Date and time policies under the domain groups root cannot be deleted.
Deleting a date and time policy will remove all NTP server settings within that policy.
Step 1 | On the menu bar, click Operations Management. |
Step 2 | In the Navigation pane, expand . |
Step 3 | Expand the node for a domain group containing the policy to delete. |
Step 4 | In the Navigation pane, click Operational Policies. |
Step 5 | In the Work pane, click DateTime. |
Step 6 |
In the Actions area, click Delete. A policy that is deleted will inherit its settings from its domain group's parent until it is reconfigured. |
Step 7 | If Cisco UCS Central GUI displays a confirmation dialog box, click Yes. |
Step 8 | Click Save. |
