   ZCenter Service uses the time zone configured on the ZSphere platform at the time of deployment.

The platform creates the service VM and installs ZCenter. After deployment, you remain in the ZSphere management interface. Click View Overview to view service status and configuration information. Click Go on the service page to access ZCenter. Subsequent environment connection and centralized management operations are performed in the ZCenter management interface.

Note: If the package upload fails, click Reupload to upload the package again. If service deployment fails, click Deploy, and then click Clear and Redeploy in the Redeploy ZCenter Service dialog box. Reconfigure and deploy the service.
