How to check NTP synchronisation on UCSM ?

[Anthony O Warren]

Hi all,

Just getting my feet wet with UCS and have our first system basically setup.

However I have defined 2 NTP servers within UCSM but it doesn't appear to be working.   I've been hunting for an equivalent to show ntp status from IOS but so far haven't found one.

Is there a way to check the time sync status? Or would errors be captured in a log anywhere?

Thanks,

Anthony

The FI's run multiple control planes viz NXOS, local management and UCSM.

UCSM is the sole way to configure the system while the others are read-only.

You can check ntp status from the NXOS plane.

To do that, ssh to the VIP.

connect nxos

At this point you are connected to the NXOS plane and show commands/debugs are applicable.

"show ntp ?" and you will see the options like status and peers.

Thanks
