Losing my mind with 'show clock' output on a Nexus 7700

[sdavids5670]

We have dozens of 7700s in our data centers and I have configured my 7700's NTP exactly like the many which appear to be working properly BUT whenever I type 'show clock' on this 7700 I see the following:

Warning: No NTP peer/server configured. Time may be out of sync.
Time source is NTP

The clock is synchronized with one of three configured NTP servers (I watched  as the time when from many minutes behind to accurate over the course of about one hour).  'show ntp statistics' output clearly shows that packets are flowing to/from the configured servers.

I'm puzzled as to why the 'show clock' output states that I have no server configured when I do, in fact, have three servers configured:

C7700# show run ntp | inc server
ntp server 192.168.197.10
ntp server 192.168.198.20
ntp server 192.168.199.30

Hello!

A few questions on this:

1. Can you confirm whether this is the admin or default VDC of this switch? Or is this a child VDC? This is important because by default, the clock is managed by the admin/default VDC unless explicitly configured otherwise.
2. Can you show us the output of show ntp peer-status from this switch?
3. Can you show us the output of show running-config | include clock from this switch?

Thank you!

Thanks for the help Christopher. Here's the output I think you asked for:

Starting on the Admin VDC...

C7700# show run all | inc clock.*vdc
clock protocol ntp vdc 2
C7700# show vdc | inc ^2
2 C7700-RSW1 active 00:3a:9c:58:2f:c2 Ethernet f3
