The OS system time should be in sync with the - BIOS Real-Time-Clock. The OS system time may also be kept from drift- - ing via an NTP server. Normally the BIOS will set the BMC time from - the RTC during boot, but running this command may be necessary periodi- - cally if the system does not reboot for many weeks, for instance. Note - that this command should not be run too frequently to avoid BMC timing - issues. Once per day should be sufficient. - - Run with no options, this command reads the BMC SEL time without set- - ting anything. + iseltime is a program that allows synchronizing the hardware time val- + ues for RTC (BIOS Real-Time-Clock) and SEL (IPMI firmware SEL time) + with the OS system time.
