Abdul, did you check System CLI Commands docs for more commands and notes?
The store system clock timezone command details that resetting timezone may be required (switch to a different time zone and return your local time zone:
...
IBM® Guardium® also logs the local timezone in the standard audit trail, to address cases where data is used in (or aggregated with) data collected in another time zones.
Note: The timezone setting is not updated automatically when Daylight Saving time occurs. In order to update the machine, the user will need to reset the timezone. Reset the timezone means to set a new timezone, different from what currently is, and then resetting to the correct timezone. Just resetting the timezone to the same one will not work and give the message, No change for the timezone.
Did you try running diagnostics on your NTP server status, as detailed in the show system ntp diagnostics command details?
Can you share what's the output of
show system ntp all
...
show system clock all
...
show system ntp diagnostics
...
If you disable the NTP server, does local time stays as you manually set it to be, after 24 hours?
store system ntp state off

Hello Daniel, Thanks for your reply. Daily, I run these commands to check timezone and date time, timezone and date always remain correct which I set initially but time is automatically set to +6 hours. I had to manually set time using command: store system clock datetime <date-time>.

Hi Abdul, it seems to me that your timezone is not setup correctly. Set the Time Zone, Date and Time in IBM Knowledge center hints that Guardium polls a time server (NTP) from time to time (daily?) to sync its time, which can explain why your time resets to -6 hours.
I suggest to verify that your timezone is correct using the GuardAPI
show system clock timezone
If it isn't correct, try to change it using
store system clock timezone list...store system clock timezone <TIME ZONE NAME>...show system clock timezone
Let us know if this solves your problem.

Hello all,
My Guardium system time changes automatically each day even I change it everyday to my current local time but it always changes to 6 hours ahead of current time. Anyone please help to set time permanently to my current local time.
