Hi Brandon Dunne, Could you please explain why we removed these options from the appliance console? Due to these changes there will be impact on the appliance console's automation results because all menu options will be changed. Regards, Devidas Gaikwad
Hi Devidas, Cockpit is now the preferred way to configure time, date and timezone. Since appliance console time configuration wasn't working on RHEL 8 we decided not to duplicate efforts and instead remove time configuration from the appliance console. Hope that helps, Brandon
Thank you Brandon
