Time Zone Change ONTAP 9

[jimb32]

Our AFF points to 2 NTP servers in the US Central time zone. The time zone setting for the AFF is also in US/Central. We're sending syslog to a cloud service and it's preferred to have it in UTC so we're being asked to change the time zone on the AFF. Should I have any concerns about doing this? I know cron jobs go off the system time so I can adjust for that. I assume changing the time zone will just change the displayed system time but kerberos should remain in sync due to the NTP servers. Can anyone confirm?

As long as the universal times are close, you should be fine regardless of timezone. 
you can check your Netapp from the command line: date -u

 that should give you time in UTC. 

Timezones are for humans. UTC is for machines.
