I made a snapshot in Administrator. Even though it tells me it would schedule it on UTC it seems like my split-time is based on my local time zone.
I suspect it's either because of my Ops Center Time zone configuration, or my storage system time zone configuration. Maybe check both(UTC time was 2pm, while local time is 3pm):

Since Ops Center is Oracle Linux based I believe you could set the timezone settings using: timezone-set
Seems like somebody did this here as well: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100026313
Once set, you should restart the services or reboot the VM. Then it should be in the local timezone like my installation. I'm running 11.0.3 for reference.

Hello Patrick
Do you know which version you have? Depending on your version this is configurable in VAM I believe. If you edit the URL bar and put /vam/ after login to administrator it might give you the opportunity to update it there. Give it a go and see if it helps. Details in the docs here (even though it seems to outdated for the current version of Ops Center)

I wanted to ask for assistance with an issue I encountered. I have a list of volumes protected using local replication via snapshots. I noticed that the creation time of the snapshots aligns with the time zone we set. However, in the replication group, where there is a split time, the time doesn't match-it's off by +8 hours from our set time zone.
I tried modifying the NTP server and local time settings, but it didn't resolve the issue. We accessed the Ops Center VM using PuTTY for troubleshooting, but the problem persists. Could you please advise on how to fix this?
