Answer

It can be checked by EVENT LOG:
  1. Open SANtricity Management Software (SANtricity® System Manager) -> Support -> EVENT LOG 
  2. Enter 'ntp' as a search keyword in the filter box then press Enter.
    1. Controller clocks set by NTP or SNTP Server event indicates that time synchronization has been successfully completed.

  1. The following two events indicate that time synchronization fails to get completed.
    1. The DNS/NTP configuration on this controller is either incorrect or all the NTP servers are unreachable over the network 
    2. Either the NTP server's resolved orconfigured IP address is wrong or the IP address is unavailable via theattached network
