Is your PC RTC set to UTC or "local" time? Most likely you may have set the time in your OS to reference the BIOS time as UTC; in which case the OS during shutdown will set the BIOS clock system time to UTC time. To have the system boot at your "local" time, you will need to adjust the "alarm" time in the BIOS to IST - 5:30.
I setup the alarm at per UTC time. Still did not boot.
Strange. May be your motherboard has a buggy BIOS; check to see if there is an update and/or contact tech support.
Anything particular about the way to shutdown the server (CentOS) so that it boots using BIOS ALARM function
I have a script that uses /sbin/poweroff to shut down the system when there is no "ESTABLISHED" network connections beteween 00:30 and 07:30 hours. RTC is programmed to boot the system @ 09:00 hours.
Thx
BTW, it would be nice to put your name. What is RSCL Mumbai?
