Can't find aging timer for 2nd (floating) IP address on an endpoint

I have a MAC address with two IPs (it's a Hyperflex Storage Controller VM).

One of the IPs moves to another MAC (when the SCVM is shut down). I've set the ACI fabric to have IP aging enabled, so that when the IP moves, ACI sends out ARP requests for the IP (at 75% of the aging timer) and learns the new MAC/IP binding.

MY QUESTION IS:

How can I see the aging timer for this second (floating) IP address?

If I issue a 

show system internal epm endpoint ip <ip_address>

command, I get the details for the MAC address - ie. something like this:

apic1# fabric 101 show system internal epm endpoint ip 172.16.19.30

MAC : 000c.2982.4fb2 ::: Num IPs : 2 IP# 0 : 172.16.19.33 ::: IP# 0 flags : ::: l3-sw-hit: No IP# 1 : 172.16.19.30 ::: IP# 1 flags : host-tracked| ::: l3-sw-hit: Yes ::: flags2 : Vlan id : 1805 ::: Vlan vnid : 109292 ::: VRF name : LAB:LAB BD vnid : 15990759 ::: VRF vnid : 2686977 Phy If : 0x1a01f000 ::: Tunnel If : 0 Interface : Ethernet1/32 Flags : 0x80005c04 ::: sclass : 32815 ::: Ref count : 6 EP Create Timestamp : 04/06/2021 19:08:17.367574 EP Update Timestamp : 04/28/2021 09:22:11.330835 EP Flags : local|IP|MAC|host-tracked|sclass|timer|

but this tells me the update timer for the MAC address EP - NOT the timer for the host-tracked IP address.  I get EXACTLY the same output if I query the IP #0 (from the above output)

So I want to know the command that shows me the information - either the EP Update Timestamp (I can extrapolate from that) or better still, the countdown timer that shows how long until the system will send the ARP request to update te host-tracked timer.

Robert Burns  Sergiu.Daniluk (or anyone else) Do you have any ideas?


WHY DO I WANT THIS?

Because I've been exploring the annoying fact that the Hyperflex management IP takes so long to fail over when the management SCVM goes down - such as when doing an upgrade - VERY annoying. Now I have ways to speed the thing up, but I'm more interested in seesing exactly what is going on - it all began here: https://rednectar.net/2021/04/27/aci-and-the-hyperflex-hiccup/

The answer is 

vsh_lc -c "show system internal epmc endpoint ip <ip address>"

Many thanks to Antony - but I'll mark this answer correct in the interests of helping others in the future.
