From the command promt, type:

show cfs lock >> which will show something similar to this:

Application: ntp
Scope : Physical-fc-ip

Switch WWN IP Address User Name User Type

20:00:50:87:89:4c:76:c2 0.0.0.0 admin CLI/SNMP v3

Note the application shown above is ntp. From the command prompt type:

show ntp status >> which will show something like this:

switch# sho ntp status
Distribution : Enabled
Last operational state: Commit operation failed

From the command prompt type:

clear ntp session and repeat the command 'show cfs lock'
